INTRODUCTION. 

"Honor and shame from no condition rise 
Act well your part, there all the honor lies." 

Pope. 

Whatever may be one's responsibility to his descendants for 
their moral or physical characters, it is certain that no person is 
entitled either to credit or blame for the virtues or vices, the 
greatness or lowliness of his ancestors ; yet a knowledge of who 
they were, whence they came and what pursuits they fol- 
lowed is usually of interest to most men ; and if among them is 
found here and there some one who was eminent or distinguished 
in the times in which he lived, his descendants may be pardoned 
for feeling that natural pride of one kinsman in the achievements 
of another. Even between two friends the success of one is a 
source of gratification to the other. Influenced by some such 
feeling I venture to hope that the following remarks on the ori- 
gin of family names in general and of the surname King in par- 
ticular, the short sketch of the King family in Great Britain, and 
especially the genealogical and historical record of one branch of 
the King family which has now been established in America for 
nearly two and a half centuries — eleven generations of which 
have lived upon her soil and many members of which have fought 
to establish and perpetuate the Great Republic under which we 
live and to preserve the liberty we enjoy — may not prove uninter- 
esting to those who are connected by blood with that family. 

Many years ago my father, George Eliphalet King, Esq., ex- 
hibited to me an old manuscript which gave some account of my 
great-grandfather, Lieutenant Eliphalet King, his service as an 
officer in the Continental Army, his presence at the Battle of 
Bunker Hill and his participation in many other engagements dur- 
ing the struggle of the American colonies for independence. After 
my father's death in 1897 I discovered that this old manuscript 
had been accidentally destroyed and I resolved to supply its loss 
by collecting from authentic sources such data concerning the 



10 KING GENEALOGY. 

lives of my American ancestors as could be conveniently obtained. 
My intention at first was to write merely a concise history of my 
own immediate ancestors beginning with William Kinge who was 
the first of our family to come to America. Before I had pro- 
ceeded far with my self-appointed task I was urged to extend the 
scope of my investigations so as to include some research con- 
cerning our English ancestry and also to embrace, as far as 
possible, the various branches of the family in America, which are 
scattered over many states of the Union. In an unguarded 
moment, without fully realizing the vast amount of labor it 
involved, I rashly consented and began the compilation of this 
Genealogy. 

Eight years have elapsed since then and during that period I 
have devoted all the time which I could spare from professional 
duties to this work. It has necessitated the investigation of 
parish registers in England and of many church and town records 
in New England ; the searching of probate, court and land 
records ; the examination of numerous ancient and modern deeds, 
wills and documents relating to members of the King family ; the 
carrying on of a very extensive correspondence as a means of ob- 
taining more accurate information ; and the collection generally 
of the material which is herein presented to the reader. Members 
of the same family sometimes differ as to dates. A few records 
will be found incomplete, but generally this is due to the failure 
of persons to make reply to repeated letters of inquiry. And 
though I have exercised the greatest possible care to avoid errors, 
undoubtedly some will be discovered in the book. Notwith- 
standing these imperfections I am content with the work. I have 
done the best I could do and I sincerely hope that my kinsmen 
who read these pages may also be satisfied with my effort. 



ORIGIN OF FAMILY NAMES. 

Family names were in use among the Romans and the great 
antiquity of the early Roman patrician gentes is indisputable, yet 
toward the close of the republic there were not more than fifty 
patrician famiUes. (Dionys. i. 85.) Even in these, owing to the 
frequency of the practice of adoption, while the historical iden- 
tity of the family was certain, yet it was no guarantee of the 
personal genealogy of the individual. The plebeians also began 
to preserve the busts and names of those of their family who 
attained to curule office. The many and great social changes, 
however, which marked the closing centuries of the Western 
Empire militated with great strength against the maintenance of 
an aristocracy by birth and as a consequence family names fell 
into disuse. 

In modern Europe prior to the middle of the eleventh century 
surnames were entirely unknown and the documents speak merely 
of Fredericus, Ernestus and the like, with at most only the addi- 
tion of the title. This absence of family names presents an 
insuperable barrier to genealogizing back beyond that time. 

""About the year 1050 the custom of using family or surnames 
(that is a descriptive name added to the christian name) began; 
but it made way so very slowly that even at the close of the 
twelfth century it had not diffused itself very much beyond the 
ranks of the higher nobility and throughout the thirteenth century 
the old habit of self-designation by the christian name merely was 
still exemplified in a vast number of instances. (Encyc. Brit. 
"Genealogy.") 

Even William, the Conqueror, had no family name, but assumed 
a surname as is shown by his proclamation as follows : "I, 
William, surnamed the Bastard." 

Gatterer in his "Abriss der Genealogie" (sec. 41, A. D., 1788) 
says that there is only one class of cases in which it is possible 
to trace a pedigree beyond the eleventh century — those cases, 
namely, where a family happens to have established a fund for the 



12 KING GENEALOGY. 

deliverance of the souls of certain ancestors (christian names 
specified) from purgatory. 

Mr. Edward A. Freeman, the distinguished English historian, 
has proved most conclusively that very few families in England 
could trace a descent from scions of the fourteenth century and he 
mentions only some five or six fam.ilies whose history could be 
proved as belonging to the time of William, the Conqueror. The 
Domesday book alone (1080-1086) proves the absence of sur- 
names. 

Camden says ("Britannia" A. D. 1586) that the first use of 
surnames in England was in the Great Domesday book and that 
this was the beginning of family names in Great Britain. 

The Great Domesday book of England was a survey of the 
counties of England begun by order of William, the Conqueror, 
and completed about the year 1086. It was an enumeration not 
only of the lands in the Kingdom but also of the names of the 
landholders and tenants, the size and description of their hold- 
ings, the number of their villeins and slaves and the number and 
kinds of their live stock. The surnames found in it, if they can 
be called such, either merely indicate the owners place of resi- 
dence, as Robertus de Albemarle (i. e. of or residing at Albe- 
marle), or his relationship, as Robertus, filius Geroldi (Robert, 
son of Gerald), Aldrit frater Odonis, (Aldrid, brother of Odo), 
or his office, profession or vocation, as Gulielmus Camerarius 
(William, the Chamberlain), Radulphus Venator (Rudolph, the 
hunter) Gislebertus Cocus (the cook). They were, of course, 
certainly surnames in the sense that they were descriptive of the 
persons whose christian names they followed, just as Tom, of 
San Francisco, Dick, the son of Richard and Harry, the cook, 
would represent the surnames of Tom, Dick and Harry. It is 
true that many of the descriptive names used in Domesday book 
did descend from father to son and thereby became true family 
names, but in a large number of other cases they did not become 
hereditary. 

Even in the Domesday book descriptive names were for 
the most part only applied to the larger landholders. Each 
county or shire is treated separately. There is a numbered list of 
the landholders and tenants in each. The King (always Rex, 



ORIGIN OF FAMILY NAMES. I3 

possessive Regis, for the book is written in Latin) comes first in 
order. Following him come the great church and lay tenants and 
these in turn are followed by the smaller proprietors and sub-ten- 
ants. In most cases these small proprietors are described by 
their christian names alone and without any attempt at further 
descriptive or surnames. 

About A. D. 1350, "to speak generally, the surnames of 
the middling and lower ranks began to descend from 
father to son but even at the beginning of the fifteenth cen- 
tury there was much confusion in names" (Lower's "English 
Surnames," p. 20). The middle class had become important poli- 
tically in the latter half of the thirteenth century. Between 1258 
and 1350 burgesses had been summoned to parliament, city 
representation in parliament was established, taxes could not be 
imposed without the consent of this middle class and wages for 
workmen had risen enormously on account of the Great Plague 
and scarcity of laborers. Surnames then became general during 
the fourteenth century among the middle and working classes, 
who were more prosperous and independent than they had ever 
been before. In the rising of the English peasantry in 1381 Wat 
Tyler was the leader ; Wat being an abbreviation of the christian 
name Walter and Tyler being a surname meaning the trade or 
occupation of a tiler, one who tiles roofs of houses. This name 
was evidently inherited from his father since Wat Tyler himself 
was a blacksmith. But among the people of England generally 
it is undoubtedly true, as Mr. M. A. Lower observes ("English 
Surnames," p. 22), that "surnames can scarcely be said to have 
been permanently settled before the era of the Reformation 
(Archaeologia Vol. XVIII p. 108). The keeping of Parish Reg- 
isters, begun A. D. 1538, was probably more instrumental than 
anything else in settling them, for it is not likely that a person 
baptized by one surname would be married under another and 
buried under a third." 

Of course some few of the middle class families, perhaps those 
connected or intimate with the nobility or higher classes, followed 
the example of the latter and adopted surnames even before the 
thirteenth century. From an examination of ancient documents, 
while pursuing some investigations as to the origin of the name 



/ 



14 ^ KING GENEALOGY. 

"King" I discovered abundant evidence that the family or" 
surname "King" was well established as early as the twelfth cen- 
tury and probably long before that. The following are some of 
these records : "Grant by Peter, the Prior and the Convent of the 
Holy Trinity to Alan King" in the time of Richard I, A. D. 1190, 
"Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds," published by the Gov- 
ernment of Great Britain, p. 198, A. D. 1695. Mention is also 
made of Roger Kynge in Middlesex A. D. 1199. See also Domes- 
day Book of St. Pauls for the year 1222 in which is mentioned 
"Hugh King" as a tenant at Thorp (p. 40), "Robert King," tenant 
at Ardleigh (p. 26), "William King" tenant at Novestoke (p. 85), 
"William King" son of Roger de Tia (p. 84). So also in "Calen- 
darium Genealogicum, Inquisitions Post Mortem" (Records of 
Chancery Proceedings — De Morte Rodulphi de la Greve) p. 7 
we find an order made in the 28th year of Henry HI (A. D. 1244) 
relating to "Willielmus Kyng, alias King;" and another order re- 
lating to "Robertus, dictus (called) King" (in the year 1247). In 
the "Calendar of the Close Rolls" (pp. 12-13) we find that on 
March 4, 1308 an order is made to the sheriff of the County 
Devon for the release of Richard le Kyng" and "Harlewyn King" 
(without the "le"). A great many deeds made during the 12th 
and 13th centuries wherein persons having the surname King are 
mentioned either as grantors or grantees, can be found m the 
"Catalogue of Ancient Deeds" mentioned above. 

All names, without exception, were originally significant, 
although in the course of ages the meanings of many of them 
have lapsed from the memory of mankind. If the names of com- 
mon objects were not dictated by mere caprice, and philology has 
shown clearly that they were not, certainly the names of persons 
had no such vague beginning. A glance at the Bible-names 
shows that they all had a meaning, as for instance Abraham, 
which meant "the father of many nations" (Gen. CXVII, v. 5), 
his wife Sarah meaning "princess," Israel, meaning " a prince of 
God" (Gen. CXXXII v. 28), Melchizedek, "King of Righteous- 
ness." Nearly all Hindoo names are epithets and the same is 
true as to Anglo-Saxon, old French and English names of the 
middle ages. We see the same thing exemplified in Indian names. 

English surnames originally designated place of residence, es- 



ORIGIN OF FAMILY NAMES. I5 

tate, occupation or some particular thing or event that related to 
the person. Many names of today at once show their relation to 
or connection with familiar objects, such for instance as Wood, 
Church and Hall ; other names again are evidently epithets, such 
as Wise, Good, Long and Little; others are descriptive of per- 
sonal appearance, as Brown, Black and White. The son of 
William, the Conqueror, was surnamed Rufus (red) from the 
color of his hair. Some names clearly indicate the occupation 
followed by an ancestor, as Smith, Carpenter, and Miller; while 
others again indicate localities as Forest, Heath and Hill. 

The use of surnames began, as we have seen, among those of 
highest rank. The heir of the estate or office naturally adopted 
the same name on the death of his ancestor and so a true family 
name arose. The younger sons would take the names of the sev- 
eral manors that might be given to them as their share of the es- 
tate. Pride of birth and a desire to show their connection with 
some powerful or distinguished person made the name common to 
all the children of the same father. Charters in the eleventh and 
twelfth centuries often describe the same individual under differ- 
ent surnames ; sometimes because he had lost his original manor 
or because he had come into possession of a more valuable one, 
but as a rule there was handed down to the children the name 
of the oldest or richest estate they possessed. The Crusades gave 
rise to many surnames taken from the devices on the shields of 
the Knights, such for instance as Griffin, Rose and the like. 
But I have said enough to emphasize the fact that each name had 
originally a meaning and was descriptive of the identity of the 
individual or family. 



ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY NAME, KING. 

It may now be asked, "How is the name King descriptive of our 
family?" "Are we descended from Royalty?" "Are we con- 
nected with some king of ancient times?" It would be quite 
absurd to suppose so. In order to bear the name of King it does 
not at all follow that we are descendants of or in any way related 
by blood to any person who held the office or title of king. Even 
if it did the honor would not be so great, if we consider the 
persons and their stations to whom the title of King has been 
applied. 

While the word king ordinarily means the ruler or sov- 
ereign of a kingdom, yet it has far oftener and from time 
immemorial been also applied to the chiefs of tribes or clans. Such 
were the kings which Joshua is said to have slain by thirties at a 
time on the banks of the river Jordan (Joshua, ch. XII, v. 9-24), 
mere chiefs or sheiks of Arab tribes. The kings of Sparta were 
hereditary yet they were only subordinate chiefs of a severe 
lepublic. In its primary sense the word King (Sax. Cyng, 
Cynig or Cyning; Ger. Koenig; D. Koning; Sw. Konung, Kung; 
Dan. Kong; Welsh, Cun) meant merely a cunning, knowing, or 
able man, a guide, a leader, a head, a chief. The designation or 
title king was applied to the head men of clans or tribes. Five so- 
called kings were seen in Ireland when Henry II conque,red 
that country in 1172. Scottish and British chiefs assumed the 
title of king. So that in reality, king meant little else than a head 
man, or a leader of a group or tribe. 

But even in England, where the king was sovereign and ruler 
of the whole kingdom, there were those who were attached to the 
king's service or person as his knights, squires, foresters, soldiers, 
guards and servants of various kinds who were called the king's 
men or the king's. It frequently happened that their very occupa- 
tion such as knight, squire or forester, originated their surnames. 
It also so happened that as they were the king's men, John, a 
king's guard, became familiarly called "John, the king's," and in 



ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY NAME_, KING. 17 

course of time merely "John King." In the same way, too, estates 
were held and owned by the king which were rented to tenants 
and they were called tenants of the king, while other persons 
might be tenants of a Bishop or some other titled person. Even 
towns have taken the name of king from the fact that they were 
part of the king's estate. Thus Kings-ton on Thames, County 
Surrey, England, derived its name from the fact that at an early 
period it was a royal demesne. 

In the Domesday book the smaller proprietors, whose christian 
names alone were given, were grouped in classes as "servientes 
Regis," "Taini Regis" or "Elesmosynarii Regis," that is the king's 
Serjeants, the king's Thanes, the king's Almsmen, etc. Each ten- 
ant of the king being described by his christian name and the 
land he held. So it could happen that the tenant of a royal 
estate would, when spoken of as a tenant, be called, for instance, 
"Roger, the king's," and in time the surname or descriptive name 
would become merely "King" — Roger King, from the fact that 
he was a tenant of the king. 

There is indeed an ancient and persistent tradition, several cen- 
turies old, that our King family derived its surname and sprang 
from a line of West Saxon kings ; but however agreeable or ^ 
flattering such a derivation of name and race might be to us, we 
are in possession of no facts tending to support it. It has also 
been suggested that perhaps the name was given to some illegiti- 
mate issue of a king, but this is fully as preposterous as to assert 
that the bearers of the name are legitimate descendants and be- 
sides, as Mr. M. A. Lower remarks ("English Surnames"), 
there is no evidence or reason to sustain it. Any reasons given 
therefor must apply with equal force to the surnames Prince, 
Duke, Count, Bishop and a host of other names and makes the 
suggestion absurd. 

A much more plausible theory has been advanced which 
ascribes the origin of the surname King to the very 
ancient miracle plays. It is said that in these old miracle 
plays, acted in public upon the streets, greatly favored by the 
church and in which the people generally took part and repre- 
sented the characters therein, the individual who played the king 
or who in the mediaeval pageantries and mock ceremonies was 



l8 KING GENEALOGY. 

monarch of the feast would be habitually spoken of as the king 
or as king until the appellation so fastened itself upon him as to 
originate a lasting and hereditary surname. Even at present in 
Germany where the miracle and passion plays are still presented, 
persons are for years thereafter spoken of by the name of the 
character they represented. In Cornwall and Devonshire these 
miracle plays were especially popular and in A. D. 1302 we find 
in Devonshire (Calendar of the Close Rolls, pp. 12-13) ^^e sur- 
name "le Kyng" (the king) and in Calendarium Genealogicum, — 
Inquisitions Post Mortem — "Robertus dictus King" (Robert 
called King) which would tend to strengthen this theory. 

Hon. Marquis F. King of Portland. Me. (recently deceased), 
a genealogist of note, in an historical and genealogical address 
delivered at Taunton, July 20, 1899, says: 

"Genealogists have generally accepted the theory that King as 
a surname originated in those popular mediaeval pastimes in 
which 'Kings of the Bean,' 'of May,' 'of Cockneys,' 'of Mis- 
rule' and others held temporary sway ; and sometimes the title 
was given for some special accomplishment or leadership ; for 
instance, Adenes, le Roy of the minstrels, Robin Hood, King of 
the Greenwood. I do not think the supposition entirely improb- 
able, but conclude it more likely that as so many surnames came 
from occupation, that in those countries where state and king 
were synonymous terms, 'de King,' or 'du Roy' would naturally 
become an affix to any servitor's name in the absence of official 
titles. I have noted that even as late as 1445 Nicholas de King 
and others were witnesses to the conveyance of one virgate 
of land in his manor of Wattume, for the health of his soul and 
the souls of his two wives, Juliana and Lucy, and his father and 
mother and all his ancestors and successors by Robert de Berklai, 
to God and the Church of St. Mary of Kingeswode. The location 
of the church suggests the probability that Nicholas was the 
forester." 

It is needless to attempt to enumerate the ways in which the 
name could first have arisen. Many may occur to one who re- 
flects upon the way in which William of the forest, or Richard, the 
brown skinned, or Peter, the long-legged, became respectively 
William Forest, Richard Brown and Peter Long, transmitting to 



ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY NAME, KING. I9 

their posterity the surnames Forest, Brown and Long. In a way 
similar to the origin of the name King arose such other surnames 
as Prince, Duke, Earle, Baron, Knight, Noble, Marshall, etc. 

The word or name King was in olden times spelled in various 
ways. In Domesday book (of course the monarch or sovereign 
IS always written Rex) the Saxon word is spelled in two ways, 
viz: "Cinge" and "Chinge," but this is because of the disuse of 
the letter k in the Latin language in which Domesday is written, 
and because c and ch in Latin have the hard sound of k in English. 
In the Exon Domesday, however, also written in Latin, but sev- 
eral years later, the word is occasionally spelled "Kinge" though 
m some places it is "Cinge" and in others "Chinge." In St. 
Paul's Domesday it is "King." In some ancient documents it is 
"Kynge" and "Kyng" and in one it is "Kyng aHas King." 
("Inquisitions Post Mortem" — Chancery Proceedings — p. 7.) 
We have records, as will appear hereafter, where our name was 
anciently, in 1389-1548, spelled Kynge; a century later, 1643, 
spelled Kinge, though the name of the same person was twenty 
years subsequently, 1662, spelled King. 

The surname King could have originated in so many diflferent 
ways, as we have seen, that it is probable the name was applied 
independently to persons in widely separated localities and of no 
relationship to or even acquaintance with each other, though prob- 
ably to avoid confusion it would be applied as a surname to but 
one family in any one particular neighborhood or county. In this 
way the frequency with which the family name King is met with 
in different parts of Great Britain would be easily accounted for 
and it is not surprising that there are only thirty-five names that 
occur more frequently or are more common than King in Eng-' 
land, while the number of individuals claiming that name there is 
over forty-five thousand. Of the old established families of that 
name in Great Britain, Burke in his General Armory blazons no 
less than thirty-eight King and fifteen Kinge coats of arms. Many 
of these, however, are related to each other. 



DEVONSHIRE, ENGLAND, THE BIRTHPLACE 

OF OUR FAMILY. 

Our own family name, Kinj^, may or may not have originated 
in some such way as has been above describcil. Certain it is, that 
the King family was well established in Devonshire several cen- 
turies ago, but the source of our family name there is, of course, 
merely speculative and is completely lost in antiquity. "The 
Calendar of the Close Rolls" (published by authority of the 
British Government) at pages 12 and 13 shows an order of release 
to the sheriff of Devonshire for Richard le Kyng and his relative 
Herlewyn Kyng, made March 4, A. D., 1308, and the Chancery 
Records, known as "Imiuisitions post Mortem" for the 28th year 
of Henry III (A. 1). 1244) mention "Williclmus Kyng alias 
King" (see Calendarium Gcnealogicum of Great Britain p. 7,) 
showing the transition also of the name Kyng to King, also fre- 
quently therein spelled Kinge. 

The most interesting of these records is an ancient charter 
made in the year i38() at Dodebrook (eight miles from Ugbor- 
ough), Devonshire, England, by Rogerus Kynge, which is now 
preserved in the family and is in the possession of Harvey J. King, 
Esq., of Troy, N. Y. Of this ancient document we will speak 
more fully hereafter when w^e come to consider the subject of our 
English ancestry. 

Devonshire is the third largest county in England. The 
British tribes which inhabiteil this part of the west of England 
were called Dumnonii by Ptolemny ; and Dumnonia or Dam- 
monia, the Latinized name of a kingdom, which louii re- 
mained independent after the arrival and early conquests of the 
"West Saxons, seems to be identical with the Cymric ''Dyfnaint" 
which survives in the present "Devon." The Saxon settlers as 
they advanced into the country calleil themselves "Defenas," that 
is, men of Devon or Dyfnaint, thus adopting the British name. 
For some time after the landing of William, the Conqueror, and 
Iho battle of llastiiiqs, Devon remained ui\disturbed. Tn the

spring of the year 1068 Exeter in Devonshire was besieged and 
taken by the Conqueror who built a castle there which was again 
besieged in 1137 by Stephen for three months. There are many 
ancient ruins in the county of great interest. 

Nearly the whole area of Devonshire is uneven and hilly. It 
contains the highest land in England south of the Yorkshire Ingle- 
borough. The scenery, much varied, is in parts of the county very 
striking and picturesque. The coast has grand cliff and rock scen- 
crv not excelled by any in England or Wales. The country imme- 
diately inland is of great beauty. There are many rivers, most of 
which run south and empty into the English Channel. In the 
central portion of the county, Dartmoor has existed as a royal 
forest from a period before the conquest. 

Devonshire is an agricultural country and is called the "Garden 
of England." Its fisheries also have been of importance. No 
county in England, save Middlesex, has given birth to so many 
eminent men as Devonshire. Among these are : Sir Walter Ral- 
eigh, Drake, Hawkins, Marlborough, Monk, Coleridge, Hooker, 
Sir Joshua Reynolds, Jno. Davis, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Wolcott, 
Ivingsley, John Ford, Sir Richard Grenville, Bishop Jewell, Gay, 
St. Boniface, Newcomin, Lord Peter King, Lord Chancellor of 
luigland and a host of others. It was from Plymouth, Devon- 
shire, that the Pilgrim Fathers in the Mayflower took their final 
leave of old England and it was after that Devonshire town that 
they named their first settlement in New England — Plymouth. 

Devonshire was the scene of much disturbance and fighting 
durinsr the civil war of the commonwealth. Both Exeter and 
Plymouth in Devonshire were besieged for many months. Plym- 
outh was one of the cities which successfully resisted the Royalist 
forces. At that time (1642-1658) the residence of William Kinge, 
the first of our ancestors who came to America, was at Ugbor- 
ough, Devonshire, about fourteen miles from Plymouth and 
about thirty miles from Exeter. He was thus situated in the 
very midst of the scene of conflict and could scarcely have escaped 
being an actor in it. It was during this time also that his two 
children. William Jr. (.iCM^") and James (1647), afterwards 
of Suffield. Connecticut, and the founder of our family in Amer- 
ica, were born. 



ENGLISH AND IRISH RELATIONSHIPS. 



Such is the country from which the ancestors of our own King 
family came. Branches of the King family, however, undoubt- 
edly extended outside of Devonshire. They were to be found in 
London, and also in the counties of Northampton, Dorset, Sussex, 
Cornwall, Suffolk, Essex and elsewhere. The English records are 
too meager and disconnected to enable one to establish and 
present a complete chain of relationship between many of the 
King families of Great Britain which are by tradition and in all 
probability thus connected. It must be remembered that there 
were no parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials kept 
in England until the year 1538, and a number of those kept since 
that date are quite imperfect, while some have been lost or 
destroyed through negligence or in times of great political dis- 
turbance or revolution. 

Wills probated in England furnish some clues but anytliing 
like a thorough search of them involves great labor and 
expense. Besides, estates and especially the small holdings 
of the middle class descended in most instances according to 
the law of inheritance and not by will. The records of these intes- 
tates often give valuable information. Land could not be devised 
by will in England until about A. D. 1540 when a statute of Henry 
VIII made it possible. It was only wills of personal or mixed 
personal and real property that were required to be probated 
and no probate of a will of merely real property was necessary 
until about 1857. Title to real estate by will might be shown 
by production of the will as a document of title in the same 
manner as a deed. Furthermore there were no adequate laws 
for the registration of the transfers of title to land and hence few 
records were made until in quite recent times. From all these 
circumstances it will be readily understood that the searches of a 
genealogist are made under great disadvantages and difficulties. 
During the past few years, however, the English court and 



ENGLISH AND IRISH RELATIONSHIPS. 23 

Other records are being extensively investigated, copied and pub- 
lished to the great aid of genealogical research in general. 

There are occasional features, also, tending to show a connection 
between many individual families bearing the name King (Kinge 
and Kynge) who now reside in widely separated localities in 
Great Britain. Such, for instance, are similarity of coats armor 
and crests, which we will consider more fully hereafter. Refer- 
ences in wills, writings or records to the names of common 
ancestors, or localities from which the family originally came, 
parish registers, entries in family Bibles or other family records, 
inscriptions on tombstones and even occasionally tradition, when 
it appears probable and without motive, are all evidences that 
should be given their due weight and consideration. 

King is originally and essentially an English name. It is not 
Irish, and was a family name in England when there were few 
surnames to be found in Ireland. Indeed it is a curious fact that 
so backward were the Irish people generally in adopting surnames 
that as late as the year 1465 it was deemed necessary to pass a 
i;tatute (5 Edward IV chap. 3) by which it was enacted "that 
every Irishman that dwells betwixt or among Englishmen in the 
County Dublin, Myeth, Uriel and Kildare * * * shall take 
to him an English surname of one towne, as Sutton, Chester, 
Trym, Skyrne, Corke, Kinsale ; or color as White, Black, Brown ; 
or art or science, as Smith, Carpenter; or office, as Cook, Butler," 
etc. 

There are Irish families of the name. King, but on careful 
examination they will be found to have originated in England. 
Many instances of this can be traced. Thus one branch of the 
Kings seems to have been settled in Huntingdonshire as early 
as the fourteenth century and a part of the family still resided 
there during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and even up to 
the present time ; but some branches of the same family removed 
to Ireland, thus planting the name in that country and, indeed, 
before them it had been carried there by less conspicuous mem- 
bers of the family. Sir John King of Huntingdonshire was given 
by Queen EHzabeth in 1559, as a reward for his military services, 
ci lease of the Abbey Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland, and 
from James I he also obtained numerous grants. He died in 1636 



24 KING GENEALOGY. 

and from him is descended one extensive Irish branch of the 
King family, now represented by Henry Edwyn King (9th), Earl 
of Kingston, Viscount Lorton, Baron Kingston, etc., Lieutenant 
3d Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment, born Sept. 19, 1874. 

Of another very extensive Irish branch of the English King 
family is Sir Gilbert King, Baronet of Charleston, County Ros- 
common. He is descended from Rev. Edward King, born in 
1575, at Stukeley, Huntingdonshire, Doctor of Divinity at Dublin 
in 1595 ; Bishop of Elphin, Ireland, in 1617 ; died in 1638. He had 
fifteen children, which seems not an unusual number in the King 
family (see King family in America, especially Ebenezer (No. 
72) and Lieut. Eliphalet (No. 33). It is unnecessary in the 
above reference to the Irish King families to give the inter- 
mediate ancestors between Sir John King and Henry Ed- 
wyn King, Earl of Kingston, or between Bishop Edward King and 
Sir Gilbert King, Baronet. They can be found in Burke's Peerage 
and Burke's "Landed Gentry." We have only mentioned these 
families as showing the transference of the name to Ireland. 
Within the last century there has been quite a large immigration 
of Kings from Ireland, but prior to this those of the name in 
America were almost entirely of English origin.

THE KING COAT OF ARMS. 

The arms displayed on the signet used during his life-time by 
James King of Suffield, Connecticut, the immigrant ancestor and 
founder of our family in America, and which thereafter from 
the time of his death in 1722 have been continuously and custom- 
arily used by his descendants for nearly two centuries and down 
to the present time, are blazoned as follows : "Sable, on a chevron 
or, between three crosses-crosslet of the last, three escallops of the 
first." Surmounting the shield on this signet is an esquire's 
helmet with wreath and a mantling flowing gracefully down in 
scroll work on either side and tastefully enveloping the arms in 
a simple but ornate design. (See cut facing this page.) 

Miss Margaret E.^ King (Robert Newton,^ Maria Persis," who 
married Lyman King, John Bowker,^ Joseph,* Capt. Joseph,^ 
James^ of Suffield, Conn., William^ from Ugborough, County 
Devon, England) residing at No. 133 West Second street, Day- 
ton, Ohio (see Maria Persis King No. 309), had in her possession 
more than one hundred ancient documents, consisting of deeds, 
bonds, receipts, inventories of estates, copies of wills, decrees of 
distribution, etc., executed by or relating to the afifairs of the 
earliest ancestors of the family in America. They are the only 
papers of which we have knowledge, made by the very early 
members of the King family of Suffield, except some original 
public and official reports made by Capt. Joseph King, to be found 
among the town records of Suffield and except also the last wills 
and testaments of certain members of the family still preserved on 
file in Probate offices. 

All these ancient documents were bequeathed to Miss Margaret 
E. King by her grandmother, Maria Persis*' King, above named, 
who was born at Suffield Oct. 13, 1816, and died at the residence 
of her son, Mr. Robert Newton King, in Dayton, Ohio, March 
20, 1901. These ancient legal documents and certain wills on 
file in the Probate office at Hartford, Conn., disclose the very 
early use in America of the King Coat of Arms. 



26 KING GENEALOGY. 

All the documents which are hereinbelow named and referred 
to in connection with the King arms were in this collection of 
Miss Margaret E. King, except the wills, the originals of which 
remain on file in the Probate office at Hartford, Conn., except that 
of James King of Suffield, which is on file at Northampton, Mass. 
At the time of the decease of James King in 1722, Suffield was and 
had been from the time of its first settlement, under the juris- 
diction and claimed to be within the boundaries of Massachusetts, 
it having been originally settled under a grant from that colony. 
But for more than fifty years the boundary lines between the col- 
onies of Massachusetts and Connecticut had been unsettled and 
a matter of controversy between the two colonies. Finally in 
1749 the dispute was ended and Suffield passed from the juris- 
diction of Massachusetts to that of Connecticut and became a part 
of Hartford County. Until that time all deeds of land in Suffield 
were recorded and all wills probated at Northampton in the 
County of Hampshire, Mass. 

So far as known there are only three (3) documents in exist- 
ence which bear the signature of James King, Senior, the First of 
Suffield, Conn., who was baptized at Ugborough, County Devon, 
England, Nov. 7, 1647, came to America about 1662 and settled 
finally at Suffield, Conn., in 1678, where he died May 22, 1722. 

The first of these documents is a deed made by "James King, 
Senior, the First of Suffield," and ''Elizabeth King, the wife of me, 
the said James King" to "my third son Joseph King of Suffield." 
Consideration — "Parental love. Good will and Affection" grant- 
ing "twelve acres of first grant land" in Suffield, etc. Dated the 
"tenth day of Aprill, annoque Domini one thousand seven hundred 
and eleven being the tenth year of the reign of Anne of Great 
Brittaine, france and Ireland Queen &c." This deed is witnessed 
by John Austin, Samuel Halladay and Hannah Remington. 

Acknowledged "10 April 171 1" before Samuel Partridge, Jus- 
tice of the Peace and recorded May 30. 171 1, in the records of the 
county of Hampshire. Book No. B, page 230. John Pynchon, 
Reg't. 

There has been a red wax seal after the signature of James 
King and also one after the signature of Elizabeth King, upon 
both of which the King Arms may at one time have been 



THE KING COAT OF ARMS. 2/ 

impressed but both seals have been broken into fragments and 
utterly destroyed — only pieces of some finely powdered red wax 
still remain clinging here and there to the instrument as evidence 
that it was once sealed. It is therefore impossible to tell whether 
or not any impression of arms of any kind was ever on either 
seal. This deed is quoted under the record of James- King (No. 

3)- 

The second document is the last will and testament of James 

King, made the "tenth day of May Annoque Domini one thousand 

seven hundred and twenty two," now on file in the Court of 

Probate of Hampshire County at Northampton, Mass. The wax 

seal after the signature of James King is also broken and only 

small fragments thereof remain so that as to this document it is 

impossible now to tell whether any design or arms once appeared 

thereon. Mr. Hubbard M. Abbott, Register of the Court, made 

an examination of the seal thereon, at my request (Aug. 1904) 

and wrote to me as follows : "I have made a careful examination 

of the original will to find out about the seal. I think there was 

once a seal to his name as there are traces of sealing wax after his 

name, but there is not the least trace left of any design." This 

will is also quoted at length under James^ King (No. 3). 

Although the seals upon both the above described instruments 
have been so broken as to obliterate any designs or coat of arms 
which formerly may have appeared thereon, yet the size and gen- 
eral appearance of the powdered remains of the seals seem to indi- 
cate that some impression by a circular signet originally had been 
made. 

The third document is a deed made by James King of Suffield 
to Joseph King, his son, and dated the "twenty-second day of 
Febry. in the eighth year of his Majesties Reign Annoque Dom. 
1 72 1 -2," three months before his death. A photographic copy of 
this deed is given hereafter under the name of "James- King 
(William^) No. 3." (This deed is now in the possession of Har- 
vey J. King, Esq., of Troy, N. Y., having been given to him 
recently by Miss Margaret E. King.) Fortunately the seal to this 
instrument, while cracked and broken in places, is yet fairly well 
preserved and shows plainly the King Coat of Arms thereon. 
The shield, the chevron with three escallops thereon, and the 



28 KING GENEALOGY. 

lower cross-crosslet can be easily seen impressed upon the red 
wax. There are breaks in the wax in the places where the two 
upper crosses-crosslet belong and they can scarcely be distin- 
guished. The helmet, however, resting upon the top of the shield 
and the mantling like scroll work, extending from the helmet 
down along both sides of the shield, are quite plain. 

On the page facing this we give an enlarged photographic print 
of this seal. The arms were impressed upside down upon the wax 
seal so that the single cross-crosslet is on the upper portion and 
the helmet, head downwards, is on the lower portion of the seal. 
By turning this book so that the upper portion of the page 
having the photographic prints of the seal thereon, will be at the 
bottom, the coat of arms on the seal will be more easily recognized. 

For the purpose of comparison another photographic print of 
the seal on a later instrument (Joseph King A. D., 1728) but 
made by the same signet, is placed also upside down beneath the 
photographic copy of the seal made by James King. It must be 
borne in mind that the photograph of the seal on the instru- 
ment executed by James King has been considerably enlarged so 
as to exhibit more plainly the lines and figures on the same. The 
seal on the instrument being all of one color, red sealing wax, 
and the signet having evidently been pressed very lightly upon the 
wax, and this wax also having been chafed, worn and broken in 
places during the one hundred and eighty-five years that have 
elapsed since the execution of the instrument, the photograph does 
not (and no photograph can) make the King arms appear as 
plainly as they really do on the original document. 

This deed, executed by James King to his son Joseph, and the 
seal thereon, is clear and conclusive evidence of the use of the 
King Coat of Arms by James King, the founder of the King 
family of Suffield, Connecticut. 

It should also be remembered that James King was an immi- 
grant from England and that there were no known engravers of 
seals in America at that time. In this connection we might call 
attention to the fact that the Committee on Heraldry, of the New 
England Historic Genealogical Society, which had given great 
attention to the early use in America of armorial bearings by 
colonial families, in a report made to the Society June i, 1864,

say: "It will be readily understood that seals used by any of the 
first generations of colonists were of foreign origin and until such 
a subsequent time as seal engraving was practiced here must have 
been imported." The committee further decided, in effect, that all 
coats of arms used in New England before the year 1760 should be 
deemed authentic without other evidence. (New England His- 
torical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 18, p. 268.) 

James King died May 13, 1722, but the use of the signet and 
coat of arms was continued by his children. His son, Capt. Jos- 
eph King, very prominent in the public afifairs of the town, was 
a wealthy man for his time and transacted a great deal of private 
business requiring his signature and seal upon legal documents. 
The papers relating to his private affairs are very numerous and 
on all of these which have been preserved, such as deeds, bonds, 
releases, etc., wherever he has signed his name as grantor or 
obligor he has affixed his seal bearing the King Coat of Arms. 
This he continued to do until his death on March 6, 1756. Among 
the last documents executed by Capt. Joseph King is a deed of 
gift to his "loving wife Hannah King," dated the "eighth day of 
September, in the twenty-ninth year of His Maj'ts Reign Anno 
Dom. 1755." The seal affixed to this document is a diamond 
shaped piece of white paper attached by a wafer to the instrument 
and upon this paper is plainly impressed the King Coat of Arms. 
The soft wafer beneath the paper seal yielded easily to the 
pressure of the signet and thus caused the paper seal to receive 
and retain the imprint of the King Arms. 

(See cut on page facing this. This deed is given in the para- 
graph devoted to Capt. Joseph King No. 10.) 

In the inventory of the Estate of Capt. Joseph King, on file in 
Probate office at Hartford, appears among other things the fol- 
lowing item: "One silver seal, King Coat of Arms" and in the 
distribution of the Estate of Capt. Joseph King, made Dec. 23, 
1762, this "silver seal" is set ofif to Joseph,* the eldest son of Capt. 
Joseph^ King. After the death of Capt. Joseph King his 
descendants continued to use these King arms on their seals. A 
will made by his eldest son Joseph* King is dated Feby. 27, 1813, 
and appears never to have been presented for probate for it is

found among the old documents in possession of Miss Margaret 
E. King of Dayton, Ohio, and has no fihng mark or note thereon. 
This will also bears, after the signature of Joseph, a seal having 
the King Coat of Arms thereon, very plainly impressed on a 
paper seal placed over a wafer attaching it to the instrument. 
(See cut on page facing this) This will is given in full in the 
paragraph relating to Joseph King No. 32 

This Joseph King died March 19, 1814, as shown by a tomb- 
stone in the graveyard at Suffield, and his descendants also con- 
tinued the use of the King Arms on their seals and otherwise, but 
I need not mention here any more documents, as the foregoing 
evidence is quite sufficient for my present purpose, and shows 
the continuous use of these arms by the Suffield King family from 
at least as early as 1722 down to the present time. 

The "Silver Seal, King Coat of Arms" mentioned in the inven- 
tory of the estate of Capt. Joseph^ King, and in the distribution of 
his estate awarded to his oldest son Joseph* King, has however, 
a history of its own. From Joseph* King, son of Capt. Joseph' 
King, this seal passed to his son John Bowker^ King (born at 
Suffield Dec. 9, 1779), who died at Suffield May 31, 1853, leaving 
it to his son Joseph Warren*^ King, born at Suffield Aug. 30, 1814. 
Joseph Warren^ King moved to Xenia, Ohio, where he died, 
July 8, 1885, and upon his death the old "Silver Seal, King Coat 
of Arms" became the property of his daughter Miss Emma Cor- 
nelia King, who continues to reside at Xenia, and in whose posses- 
sion it still remains. This seal is composed of a silver plate of cir- 
cular form with a diameter of three quarters of an inch upon 




which are engraved the King Arms. The silver plate is mounted 
on a turned and polished ebony handle three and one-half inches 
long, all showing excellent workmanship. The seal is now much 
worn from long usage and some of its finer lines, such as those 
connecting the mantling with the helmet, are almost obliterated "^o 
that they scarcely show in the zincograph here presented.

In 1897 Miss Emma C. King was travelling in Europe, and, 
desiring to know the origin of the arms engraved upon her seal 
submitted it for examination to the College of Arms, London, 
England. The result of the investigation is explained in the fol- 
lowing letters : ^ 

"The College of Arms, 
London, E. C. 

20th August, 1897. 

Dear Madam : 

Referring to your visit here and enquiry re arms on a seal pro- 
duced, I have to inform you that I find there is a record here of a 
grant of these arms, viz : "Sable, on a chevron or, between three 
crosses-crosslet of the last, three escallops of the first" to King of 
London, the date of the grant being about 1611 and there being 
no pedigree recorded in connection therewith. 

A copy of the entry with a painting of the arms can be made if 
you should desire it, on receipt of the fee, one guinea. 

I am 

Yours faithfully 

G. AMBROSE LEE 
Miss King. Bluemantle." 

"The College of Arms 
London, E. C. 

23rd Aug., 1897. 

Madam : 

The fee paid by you was for the search, the result of which has 
been duly communicated to you. 

The arms are entered as I informed you, merely to "King of 
London," the date of the grant would from adjoining entries 
appear to be 161 1 and the entry occurs in a book of Grants by 
William Camden, who was then Clarenceux King of Arms. 

Yours faithfully 

G. AMBROSE LEE, 
Miss E. C. King. Bluemantle." 

Miss King being compelled to leave London very soon there- 
after did not at that time order the painting of the arms, but at the 
request of the compiler of this genealogy did so in 1904 and a cut 



32 KING GEXEALOGY. 

of the same with the certificate of G. Ambrose Lee, Bluemantle, is 
presented herein on the page facing this. In the painting furnished 
by Mr. G. Ambrose Lee the shield and shells are black and the 
crosses and chevron are gold. In the cut here given the gold color 
is represented by little black dots on the white ground. 

The christian name of this "King of London" is not given nor 
was a pedigree filed, which is not unusual. It however renders 
the proof of a direct descent and the establishment of an unbroken 
connection with the original grantee,, an extremely difficult if not 
impossible task. It will be observed however that this coat of arms 
is precisely the same as that used by James King of Suffield, ex- 
cept that it has the addition of a crest — an arm grasping a broken 
spear. 

The King family of Sufiield, Connecticut, came directly from 
Ugborough, Devonshire, England, and not from London, and 
it was to a resident, either temporary or permanent, of this latter 
city that in 1611 these arms were originally granted. It is sup- 
posed, however, that William and Margaret King were early an- 
cestors of the Ligborough family, who, with some of their children 
left Ugborough and took up their residence at London about the 
year 1587, when the Spanish Armada was threatening the south 
coast of England, and this is very probable for there is no record 
of them in the parish registers of Ugborough after that time nor 
any record of their burial there. 

In this way, if the "King of London," to whom these arms were 
granted, was one of these ancestors of the Ugborough family, 
then the Kings remaining at Ugborough, and among them the 
ancestors of the Suffield, Connecticut, Kings, would have been 
direct heirs of course and entitled to bear these arms. 

That some such relationship existed seems evident from the 
very use itself of these arms by James King of the Ugborough 
family (born at Ugborough, 1647) but it may be impossible now 
to obtain definite information. 

While Burke's General Armory blazons thirty-eight King and 
fifteen Kinge coats of arms it will be found upon examination 
that many of them are identically alike, others only differ in color- 
ing of the field or charges and others again dififer only as to their

crests. Even where the distinction is much greater there still 
remains a striking similarity. 

The King famiUes of London ; Ugborough, Devonshire ; West 
Hall, Sherborne, Dorsetshire ; Towcester, County Northampton ; 
Loxwood, Sussex ; Midhurst, Sussex and others bore the arms 
granted in i6ii by Camden, Clarenceux King of Arms to King of 
London — "Sable ; on a chevron or, between three crosses-crosslet 
of the last, three escallops of the first" with some differencing as 
to colors and with different crests. 

Another group of King families in Devonshire ; Towcester, 
County Northampton ; Umberslade, County Warwick ; Hungrill, 
County York; Chadshund, County York; Preston Candover, 
County Hants and we might add those of Thame and Wormin- 
hall, Oxfordshire; Iver, "Buckinghamshire ; Stouton, Wiltshire; 
Bishop John King of London, Ralph King, Vintner of London, 
and others bore arms — "Sable, a lion rampant or, ducally crowned 
argent, between three crosses-crosslet or" with some differencing 
as to colors, crests, etc. 

It will be observed that the crosses-crosslet are generally com- 
mon to both these arms. If in the arms of this last group of King 
families we substitute "a chevron or charged with three escallops 
sable" for the "lion rampant or ducally crowned argent" the arms 
of both groups become identical in design. 

It may be as some claim, that the arms blazoned with the 
lion rampant and belonging according to tradition to a very 
ancient Devonshire family are the oldest borne by any King fam- 
ily. A Devonshire King family appears to be one of the most an- 
cient of the families bearing that name in England. During sev- 
eral centuries, however, many of its descendants must have at dif- 
ferent times settled in other parts of England and branches of the 
Devonshire family have thus established themselves in many sep- 
arate counties. Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Wilts, Hants, 
Sussex, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Lincoln, York, Westmoreland, 
Warwick, Northampton, Huntingdon, Buckingham, Middlesex 
(London), Oxford and several other counties have families bear- 
ing the name of King which probably are related to each other 
and to the Devonshire family, although in many instances the 
link of relationship leading to a common ancestor is lost in

KING GENEALOGY. 



antiquity. Thus the Kings of Thame and Worminhall, Oxford- 
shire, from whom descended Robert King, (Robertus Kynge), 
Bishop of Oxford (1542-1557), and later (1611) John King, the 
famous Bishop of London, begin their family chart of descent 
with John Kynge, yeoman and church- warden of Thame in 1469 
yet claim a more distant ancestry in "the ancient King family 
of Devonshire" and they bear the Devonshire family arms as 
blazoned in Burke's General Armory. 

All children from the oldest to the youngest are of right 
entitled to bear the arms of their father. With numerous mem- 
bers and branches of the same family all equally entitled to bear 
the family arms, it became necessary for the separate branches 
to introduce some sufficient change in color or design, or to make 
some slight addition to or substitution in the original armorial 
blazon in order to distinguish the bearings of one branch of the 
family from the others. Such changes, additions or substitutions 
were called in heraldry "differences." 

It is true that the modern marks of cadency or differences — the 
label of three points for the eldest son, crescent for the second, 
mullet for the third, martlet for the fourth, etc. — had been intro- 
duced in the i6th century and even before that, some imperfect 
systems had appeared; but these for a long time were "more 
honored in the breach than in the observance," and ever since 
have been and even at this day are quite generally slighted. Their 
use, it is claimed by some, mars and disfigures the original coat 
of arms and it is also evident that where there are many success- 
ive generations their use becomes impracticable as they could 
scarcely continue to be accumulated, one on the other, without 
limit. 

The changing of an ordinary, or of a charge, as a bend for a 
fess, or a crosslet for a martlet, or the substitution of one charge 
for another, was in earlier times a much more common method 
of differencing, while now the object is often accomplished by 
changing the crest. 

If, as intimated by Burke's General Armory (but for which 
we can find no authority), the original arms of the Kings of 
Devonshire were "Sable, a lion rampant or, ducally crowned . 
argent between three crosses-crosslet" etc., then the grant of arms 



THE KING COAT OF ARMS. 35 

to "King of London" by Camden in 1611 merely substituted the 
"chevron or charged with three escallops sable" for "the lion ram- 
pant" etc., and perhaps was intended as a "difference" — effected, 
however, by the aid of the College of Arms in a new grant. 

This "difference" was possibly rendered necessary at that time 
by the fact that John King, then (1611-1623) Bishop of London, 
was bearing the lion rampant arms. The other "King of London" 
though a relative, may have found it convenient, if not necessary, 
to have a difference created by grant to distinguish his arms from 
those of the family of the famous Bishop. 

But it may well be doubted that the lion rampant arms were 
more ancient than the chevron charged with three escallops. 
Oliver King (1430-1503) who was Bishop of Exeter, Devonshire, 
in 1493, bore for his arms: "Argent, on a chevron sable three 
escallops of the first," (Add. M. S., 12443. — Papworth's Ordin- 
ary of Armorials), and also Alexander Kinge of London was 
granted in 1592 arms "Sable, on a chevron erm. three escallops 
gu." King of Shelley, Suffolk County, in the latter part of the 
fourteenth (14th) century bore arms "Sable on a chevron arg. 
three escallops of the field. (Davy's MSS. p. 218, British 
Museum. See also N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Rec. Vol. 29 p. 220.) We 
do not know of any King bearing the lion rampant arms until 
long after the time of Oliver King, Bishop of Exeter. 

The arms granted by Camden in 161 1 to King of London 
"Sable on a chevron or between three crosses-crosslet of the 
last, three escallops of the first," are with slight differences borne 
by the King families of Loxwood House, County Sussex ; of 
Midhurst, County Sussex ; of Towcester, County Northampton ; 
Kinge of West Hall, Sherborne, County Dorset ; King of Gains- 
borough, County Lincoln ; Kynge of County Suffolk ; King of 
Wiltshire ; King of Ashby Hall, Lincolnshire ; King of Leicester- 
shire and other Kings as well as the Ugborough, Devonshire, 
family, as is evidenced by its use by James King, born at Ugbor- 
ough, from whom the Kings of Suffield, Connecticut, are 
descended. 

The lion rampant arms are born by the Kings of Umberslade 
County Warwick; of Hungrill, County York; of Belle Vue, 
County Kent ; of Bromley, County Kent ; of Pyrland Hall, County

Somerset, combined, however, zmth the three escallops and also 
quartered with Meade ; of Thame and Worminhall, Oxfordshire ; 
of Shellands; of Chadshimd; Arthur F. B. King Esq., of Warn- 
ford Cottage, Bishops Waltham, County Hants, and others. 

It seems quite probable that all these various King, Kinge and 
Kynge families are, more or less remotely, connected. Such 
seems a fair inference also from their arms. Frequently the 
crests of some of these families suggest their relationship. The 
Kings of Midhurst, County Sussex, while bearing ''Sable, on a 
chevron or between three crofses-crosslet of the last, three 
escallops of the first" have as a crest "an ostrich's head argent 
ducally gorged or" while families bearing the lion rampant arms 
have as a crest "out of a ducal coronet or, a demi ostrich arg." 

The Kings of Leicestershire while having as arms "Sable, on a 
chevron arg. three escallops of the first" have as a crest " a lion 
ducally crowned" etc. The crest of Kinge of Sherborne, County 
Dorset (son of William Kyng of Castle Cary, County Somerset) 
is a lion sejant whose right paw rests on an escallop. The arms 
of Richard King (now quartered with those of Meade and borne 
by Meade-King) added three escallops to the lion rampant be- 
tween three crosses-crosslet, thus combining the features of both 
these arms. 

All the King, Kinge and Kynge families of England, so far as 
we know, sprung from pure English stock with the exception of 
the descendants of John Le Roy, who fied from France at the 
massacre of St. Bartholomew, Aug. 24, 1572, became a merchant 
of London and soon anglicized his name to John King. Sir John 
King, born at St. Albans, County Herts, in 1628, was his grand- 
son. 

With the exception of the family last named it is quite probable 
that most of the King families of England to whom we have 
referred are related to each other by blood, although as we have 
said above the link of relationship leading to a common ancestor 
is not now discoverable and has become obscured by the mist of 
ages. 

We are inclined to believe that two or three hundred years ago 
this feeling of relationship between the many King families of 
England was much more clearly recognized than it is now, and 



THE KING COAT OF ARMS. 37 

when we consider the great increase in number of those now 
bearing that surname it is quite natural that evidences of their 
connection should have become obscured in the multiplicity of 
branches and descendants of the numerous families. 

In this connection and as tending to show the sentiment of 
kinship which existed two centuries ago among the different King 
families of England we quote the following short article which 
appeared in "Notes and Queries" (7th Series) Vol. 7, p. 488. 
"King Family — In a M. S. volume of coats of arms bearing the 
autograph and bookplate of John Fenn, 1771, is inserted a 
printed paper bearing the arms of King of Bromley, County 
Kent; Midhurst, County Sussex; Dorsetshire; Essex (two coats) ; 
London and Berkshire; Suffolk; West Patrick, County Hants; 
Somersetshire; Buckinghamshire (two coats); Lincolnshire, 
descended from Suffolk; with King, Alderman of Coventry; 
King, Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of Arms ; and King, Bishop of 
London and Chichester.

THE CREST. 

The helmet, originally a piece of defensive armor, became in 
course of time one of the usual accompaniments of the shield 
and placed over the arms it came to mark by its form the rank 
of the wearer. Thus the royal family bear the helmet full faced 
with six gold bars. The helmet of the lesser nobility are borne 
in profile, those of dukes and marquises being of gold with five 
steel bars, those of lower rank being of silver with gold ornaments 
and four silver bars. The helmets of baronets and knights are 
of steel full faced and open visor. The esquire's or gentleman'^' 
helmet is of steel represented in profile with the visor closed. The 
helmet on the King family seal is of the last class, indicating the 
rank of a gentleman merely without other title. 

The mantling is supposed to represent a sort of cloak or 
mantle, torn in shreds by frequent contests and sufficiently ample 
to include the whole achievement. It is in fact an embellishment 
of scroll work flowing down on both sides of the shield. Some 
claim that it originated in the contoise or scarf wrapped round 
the body in the days of coat armor. The mantling on the King 
seal is much worn and some connecting lines are so faint as to 
be scarcely perceptible, yet it is quite ample and envelops the 
whole achievement. 

From the top of the helmet, within a wreath of two pieces of 
silk twisted together of the first two colors (alternating) of the 
armorial bearings, there now-a-days usually issues a crest. 
Originally the crest was a special mark of honor worn only by 
heroes of great valor or advanced to high military command. In 
late years it has become an almost inseparable adjunct of the Coat 
of Arms in English, though not so in Continental heraldry. We 
find, however, very many old English families who bear arms 
without any crest. 

In the grant of arms in i6ii to King of London the crest blaz- 
oned therein was "A cubit arm in armour per pale or and sable, 



THE CREST. 39 

the gauntlet wholly of the last grasping a broken spear ppr. in 
bend sinister point to the sinister." 




This crest does not appear on ovir King seal. Some of the 
English families bearing these arms, such as the Kings of Lox- 
wood House, County Sussex, have retained the original crest but 
others have substituted therefor different crests, as for instance 
the Kings of Midhurst, County Sussex, of whose crest we shall 
speak presently. 

It is very noticeable that in England crests are often assumed 
or changed arbitrarily and without any proper authority. This 
is apparently done quite frequently to distinguish branches of the 
same family. So we find the Kings of Midhurst, County Sussex, 
whom we have mentioned above, while they preserved carefully 
the arms granted to King of London in i6ii yet they rejected the 
crest granted with those arms and substituted therefor "An 
ostrich head argent ducally gorged or" to distinguish or difference 
their own family from the other families bearing the same arms. 
It may be that James King of Suffield or his ancestor discarded 
the original crest, the armored arm and broken spear, for the same 
reason and in order to difference his immediate family, not being 
the oldest son. 

There are also armorial bearings where the crest consists merely 
of the helmet alone. Such is the case with the King family of 
Hampshire, England, whose crest is merely "An Esquire's helmet 
ppr garnished or." It may be therefore that the esquire's helmet 



40 KING GENEALOGY. 

on the King seal was intended for the crest though there is no 
wreath beneath it. 

As we have said above, the custom of changing crests arbitrar- 
ily and without any proper authority or even omitting it alto- 
gether (which was sometimes done) has been so frequent in 
England among different branches and members of the same 
family that we can, at this late day, scarcely say in the case of the 
King seal, whether there is an intentional omission of a crest or 
whether the helmet alone constitutes the crest. 

If there was any other crest it would of course appear above 
the helmet. In England such a question would have little 
interest for female descendants because women (except the sov- 
ereign) do not have either helmets or crests as a part of their 
armorial bearings. The reason given for this rule in England is 
that females did not wear helmets and hence could have no crests 
but this is hardly logical for neither did they bear shields, yet 
their right to the paternal arms, except the crest, is conceded by 
all and their use by female descendants is general. In America the 
custom seems to be that females bear the crests as well as the arms 
of their paternal ancestors. 

As to the coat of arms of the King family of Suffield, Connec- 
ticut, we can confidently and safely assert the undoubted right of 
the descendants of that family (who have been or are of the sur- 
name King) to bear arms "Sable, on a chevron or, between three 
crosses-crosslet of the last, three escallops of the first" with a 
gentleman's helmet surmounting and resting upon the shield. 

No lineal descendant of the Suffield family whose father bore 
the name King need fear that he, or she, is infringing upon the 
title of any one else or that he or she, is assuming any questionable 
right in gratifying "that harmless vanity" of displaying upon his 
or her stationery, book-plate, etc., the King Coat of Arms just as 
it has appeared upon the seals of our ancestors for two centuries 
in America and just as it was used by our immigrant ancestor, 
James King of Suffield, Connecticut, who undoubtedly brought 
it here from the mother country. We suggest, however, that 
these arms should conform strictly to those displayed on the old 
King seal, without either augmentation or diminution unless it- 
may be the omission of the mantling, which is in fact no part of 



THE CREST. 



41 



the arms but merely an embellishment, proper enough for a seal 
if desired by the possessor. 

Pride in a long and honorable lineage, combined with respect 
for the name, is, and we think should be, quite sufficient to justify 
and even to prompt the members of our King family to continue 
to use this ancient coat of arms even here in our own democratic 
America, where although titles and rank have given way to 
political equality, yet there still remains that instinctive and proper 
valuation of a descent from distinguished or gentle ancestors. 



ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 

A. D. 1 389- 1 662. 

The Parish of Ugborough, Devonshire, England, in which 
neighborhood the EngHsh ancestors of the King family of Suf- 
field, Connecticut, had resided probably for centuries before their 
descendants came to America, lies in the southwestern part of 
County Devon and is fourteen miles east of Plymouth. Immedi- 
ately on the north lie the great wastes of Dartmoor, extending 
about twenty-five miles northward by an average breadth of ten or 
twelve miles — a land of crags, lofty hills, deep valleys, wild glens 
and rushing streams where Nature is seen in her wildest forms. A 
royal forest, established long before the conquest, occupies the 
central portion of this picturesque wilderness. In the wilds of 
Dartmoor the Erme and Avon rivers find their sources and 
between these streams, as they emerge from the Dartmoor, is the 
obscure but very ancient Parish of Ugborough with its pictur- 
esque church and its present vicarage at the little hamlet of Ivy- 
bridge. In this vicinity the artist of nature may find ample sub- 
jects for his brush. 

Bounding Ugborough on the East is the Parish of South Brent; 
on the South is the Parish of North Huish ; on the West the Par- 
ish of Earmrngton ; and on the North nothing but Dartmoor. 

The great Dartmoor is grand, wild, rugged and majestic. Huge 
blocks of broken granite, called Tors, crowning steep hills, rise 
suddenly in fantastic shapes, towering sometimes two thousand 
feet in height above the rolling mesa or table land. Right to the 
north of Ugborough, where the old Parish Church lies in the well 
wooded valley of the Erme, Ugborough Beacon, a lofty hill, rises 
abruptly to an altitude of twelve hundred and fifty feet. In the 
interior of Dartmoor are deep and mysterious pools amid the 
tangled wildwood and again traces of sepulchres and burial caves 
within stone circles to which run avenues formed by long parallel 
rows of upright stones, giving evidence of strange rites and cus-

toms of an ancient people who trod its wilds long prior to the 
Roman occupation. 

The Parish Church of Ugborough is worthy of special men- 
tion. (See frontispiece of this book for exterior view of the 
church and its ancient churchyard.) It is a very ancient structure. 
The exact date of its erection cannot be given with accuracy. The 
Church is named in an old Charter of Bishop John of Exeter, 
whose bishopric was from A. D. 1186 to 1191 — more than 700 
years ago ! 

There are evidences in the architecture of the Church of three 
successive restorations, the distinctive character of which seem to 
prove conclusively that it is considerably more than 800 years 
old and possibly has stood there for more than 1000 years. The 
arch leading from the belfry to the nave is of Saxon architecture 
and evidently was built before the Norman conquest, as it is a well 
established fact that after the accession of William the Conqueror, 
A. D. 1066, Saxon architecture was wholly discarded. The old 
Font is Norman. On the bosses in the roof of the northern nave 
are two interesting and unique carvings. The records of the 
church show that the high altar was consecrated by Bishop Sta- 
peldon Oct. 28, 131 1 and the Church was reconsecrated by him 
after material restoration and some additions, on February 21, 
1323. It is well preserved and an excellent example of ancient 
Church architecture in England. Especially is this old Church of 
interest to our King Family for in its quiet church-yard sleep 
ancient ancestors. Tombstones without and memorial tablets 
within the church also record the deaths of many bearing the 
family name of King. 

In this Church William Kinge and Agnes Elwill were married 
on October 16, 1642, and in it their son James King, the founder 
of the King Family of Suffield, Connecticut, was baptized on 
November 7, 1647. From this Church Agnes (Elwill) Kinge, the 
mother of James King of Suffield, was buried on April 7, 1662, 
after which the family came to America. 

The presence in this neighborhood of a King family A. D. 1308 
seems to be shown by certain court proceedings at Exeter, dated 
March 4, 1308, in which Richard le Kynge and Herlwyn Kynge 



/

45 



(without the "le") are mentioned (Calendar of Close Rolls pub- 
lished by British Government, pp. 12-13). 

It is certain, however, that as early as the year 1389 a family 
named King (then spelled Kynge) lived in the vicinity of Ugbor- 
ough, Devonshire. There exists an old parchment deed or 
charter, dated and executed in the year 1389 by Roger King 
(Rogerus Kynge), showing that he then lived at Dodebroke, 
(8 miles from the Parish Church of Ugborough), Devonshire, 
and conveying to John Sormonnd a building and grounds 
described in the deed as "situated at Redpitte, near the Font of 
St. Thomas the Martyr in the burg of Dodebroke." The 
parchment is in perfect condition and the wording thereon is in 
Monkish Latin with contractions and abbreviations, but plainly 
written and distinctly legible. The seal to the instrument is 
appended therefrom and is of red wax an inch in breadth and one 
quarter of an inch thick, without a crack or flaw. The insignia on 
the face or escutcheon of the seal stands out in sharp relief and on 
the reverse side there is a deep impression made by the thumb of 
Roger King (a precaution against forgery) when he pressed the 
wax against the engraved signet, which was his personal and 
hereditary seal, for from the time of Edward I every freeholder 
had his own seal, an impression of which was required to be filed 
at the place where the court in his county was held. (Stat. Exon 
14, Edw. I. See Blackstone's Com. Book 2, ch. XX, where the 
requirements of these ancient deeds and the seals thereto are 
very fully explained, while in Appendex No. i to Chitty's Black- 
stone the usual form of these ancient deeds — "Vetus Carta FeoflF- 
amenti" — is given and its similarity to the one executed by Roger 
King will at once be recognized. In "Warwick Castle and its 
Earls," by the Countess of Warwick, London & New York, 1903, 
will also be found some photographs of ancient charters which 
are in form and proportions like that of the Rogerus Kynge 
charter.) 

The design on the red wax seal of Roger King appears to be a 
tree and on either side two distinct branches rising from the 
ground independently. It will be noticed that there are several 
witnesses to the document, the first being the then prepositus, 
Provost or Reeve, of the burg of Dodebroke. 



46 KING GENEALOGY. 

This original charter or deed of Roger King, executed A. D. 
1389, is now in the possession of Harvey James' King, Esq., 
(Roger,=* Lieut. EHphalet,* Capt. Joseph,^ James^ of Suffield, 
Conn,. WilHam^ from Ugborough, Devonshire, Eng.) Counselor 
at Law, No. 2 Mutual Building, Troy, N. Y., who obtained it by 
purchase from R. Palmer Sanderson Esq., of Lily Grove, Lan- 
caster, England, to whom it came from those having the title deeds 
of the property conveyed therein. 

We give a photographic fac simile (slightly reduced in size) 
of this charter, but as it would require an expert to decipher the 
antique character of the letters, the several contractions and ab- 
breviations of the ancient Latin, we will give below, its trans- 
cription into modern Latin and also its English translation. 

In the photographic fac simile of the charter on the page facing 
this it will be noticed that the last line of the charter is covered 
by the folding of the parchment, so that it does not show in the 
photograph, but the words are "a conquestu anglie terciodecimo," 
which of course can be seen by peering beneath the fold in the 
original. The Normans dated all their business from the con- 
quest.

(seal.) 

As there were no Parish Registers in England prior to 1538 
an unbroken descent from this Roger King of A. D. 1389 cannot 
of course be directly traced and proved, but there is little doubt 
from the family name and locality in which he lived that the 
Roger King (Rogerus Kynge) was one of the lineal ancestors of 
James King, who was born at Ugborough in 1647 and who there- 
after became the founder of the King Family of Suffield, Con- 
necticut. 

Parish Registers of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials were first 
required to be kept in England in 1538 (by a statute of King 
Henry VHI) and no records of that character were kept before 



^g KING GENEALOGY. 

that time. The Parish Registers of Baptisms and Marriages at 
Ugborough were both opened in 1538 and the Register of Burials 
was opened in 1542, but for the first few years, as was the case 
elsewhere in England, the entries were scanty and irregular. Ten 
or twelve years after their opening the Registers begin to show 
more completeness. The entries in all three of the Ugborough 
Registers (Baptisms, Marriages and Burials) were written in 
Latin. These furnish the only available and definite record of 
family descent of the inhabitants of the parish. It must be 
observed, however, that it is not the births and deaths that are 
recorded, but only the baptisms and burials, which is quite a dif- 
erent thing, as many children born in the parish might not be bap- 
tized therein and deaths without the parish found no record there, 
while marriages of male residents with female non-residents would 
naturally occur at the residence of the bride. It must not be 
thought, therefore, that the Parish Register record of a family 'S 
even generally complete for the fact is that in most parishes it 
very frequently happened that no record was made of many 
family baptisms (and in the early days of the reformation (1550 
et seq.) baptisms were frequently not made by the regular parish 
priest) and none even of some marriages and burials where the 
service was not performed at the Church. These Parish Registers 
ire, however, perfectly reliable of course as to the entries actually 
made and from these other facts can often with great certainty be 
inferred and even omissions supplied. 

From the Ugborough Parish Registers it appears that certainly 
as early as 1548 a family named King (Kynge) was living there 
for entries of the marriages of females of that name appear in 
the Marriage Register and marriages were ordinarily celebrated 
in the parish where the bride resided. The following entry from 
the Ugborough Parish Marriage Register shows one of these 

marriages : 

"i548_johannes Hayman et Maria Kynge nupti erant 27 die 
Augusti." (A. D. 1548 — John Hayman and Maria King were 
married 27th day of August.) 

The gradual evolution of the orthography of the name, as we 
have before remarked, has been at first Kyng or Kynge; then 
about 1575 it changes to Kinge and finally about 1660 it becomes 



ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 



49 



King. This is well illustrated by the title pages of the successive 
editions of the English Bible. The first English Bible ever printed, 
A. D. 1535, bears on its title page "Set forth with the Kynges 
moost gracious licence;" the next editiorf, A. D. 1579, has "Printer 
to the Kinge's Maiestie" ; an edition of 1661 has "His Maiestie 
the King." 

Persons of the surname King have been the possessors of very 
considerable landed estates in Ugborough and adjoining parishes. 

In December, 1893, the Rev. W. E. Windle, Vicar of Ug- 
borough, sent to Miss Emma C. King of Xenia, Ohio, at her 
request, the record of certain baptisms, marriages and burials in 
the King family, taken from the Parish Register entries made 
between the years 1575 and 1675. He also in the same letter 
said: "I am afraid I cannot send you a description of the King 
Coat of Arms. * * * There is a fine old mansion and Estate 
called Fowelscombe in this parish which had been in Chancery 
for many years, but has recently passed into the hands of a repre- 
sentative of the King family." In September, 1903, Rev. W. E. 
Windle in a letter to Mr. Cameron H. King, the compiler of these 
records, wrote: "Fowelscombe lies in this (Ugborough) parish 
about a mile southeast of the Church. Its present owner is Rev. 
J. Voden Walters, Cherhill Rectory, Calne, Wilts., whose wife 
was a member of the King family. Your name, King, is a very 
old name in this parish." 

The writer of those letters was in error relative to the owner- 
ship of Fowelscombe, but his statement led to inquiries which 
have resulted in proving relationship between its owners and the 
King family of Sufifield. 

Rev. J. Voden Walters is not and never has been its owner. 
It is the property of his wife, Ellen Caroline King, the eldest 
daughter of the late Richard King, Esq., its last previous owner 
and occupant. 

In September, 1904, Mr. Harvey J. King, of Troy, N. Y., wrote 
to Rev. J. Voden Walters and after stating that he was a descend- 
ant of James King, who was born at Ugborough, in 1647, asking 
him kindly to favor the writer with information relative to the 
connection of the King family at Ugborough with Fowelscombe. 



go KING GENEALOGY. 

Mr. Walters very courteously answered that inquiry at consid- 
erable length and then added : 

"If you were to write to Arthur King, Esq., Warnford, Bishops 
Waltham, Hants (he is son of the late Captain King, a brother 
of my wife's father), he would be able to give you a good deal of 
interesting detail out of a M. S. book he has, written by an admir- 
ing friend of the family more than lOO years ago, descriptive of 
the house and its surroundings at that time. You are, of course, 
a member of the same family. That is evident. I will send your 
letter on to Mr. Arthur King. 

Believe me yours very sincerely, 

J. VODEN WALTERS." 

Mr. Arthur King promptly responded to the letter forwarded to 
him by Mr. Walters, giving much interesting information relative 
to the family, and kindly offered, if requested to do so, to send 
to its writer the manuscript above referred to, which subsequently 

he did. 

It covers over lOO pages and contains a history of Fowelscombe 
and its owners from the early part of the sixteenth century. 
Bound in the same cover with the ancient manuscript, and supple- 
menting it, the history is continued down to the year 1888 by Cap- 
tain John King, the younger brother of Richard King, the father 
of Mrs. Walters. Fowelscombe is an entailed estate and on the 
decease of its owner descends to his eldest son, or if he leaves no 
son, or the descendent of a son, then to his eldest daughter. 
Richard King had no son and upon his decease his eldest daugh- 
ter, Ellen Caroline, became its owner, to the exclusion of three 
younger sisters. 

So far as is pertinent to the present record, the following brief 
statement is all that we deem necessary to add on the subject. 

Fowelscombe, in the parish of Ugborough, is an estate of 
considerable extent which is now, and for a long period of time, 
has been the property of the' King family of that parish. 
The grand old Manor house, which is of impo.^ing architecture 
and covers a large area, is very ancient. The date of its erection 
is not known, but in the history of Fowelscombe Manor, above 
referred to, which was written in 1808 by James White, Jr., of 
Plymouth, Devonshire, and dedicated to Richard King, Esq., the

great grandfather of the present owner, the author says : "It is not 
mere conjecture to suppose that it was erected prior to the 
commencement of the sixteenth century, for an inscription 
engraved on a brass plate affixed to the family vault in Ugbor- 
ough Church shows that one of its proprietors was interred 
there in the year 1507, and there now remains in the hall, on a 
shield of wood, the date 1537." 

The Manor house is now, and for several years past has 
been unoccupied and needs extensive repairs. At present it 'S 
merely a magnificent and picturesque ruin. 

While it is not practicable to prove from the records what the 
exact relationship was between the family which occupied it and 
the King family of Suffield, it is quite evident that such relation- 
ship existed from the fact that the Coat of Arms of the Fowels- 
combe family is identical with that of James King, who was 
born at Ugborough in 1647 and settled in Suffield in 1678. 

Such relationship is also recognized by Mrs. Walters and other 
members of the Fowelscombe King family. 

It is a remarkable fact that the only surviving male descendant 
in England of the King family of Fowelscombe who bears the 
name of King is Arthur Fitzroy Bonham King, Esq., who resides 
at Warnford, Bishop's Waltham, Hants, England. He is the only 
son of Captain John King, who was the younger brother of Rich- 
ard King, the father of Mrs. Walters, the present owner of 
Fowelscombe. 

We present on the page facing this a half-tone of Fowelscombe 
Manor House from a photograph taken in 1905. 



GENERATIONS IN ENGLAND. 

It is unnecessary to quote here from the Ugborough Parish 
Registers any entries other than those which it is beheved exhibit 
the direct Hne of ancestry of the King Family of Suffield, Con- 
necticut. 

I. 

FIRST GENERATION. 

Thomas^ Kynge was born before the opening of the parish 
registers in 1538. His daughter Joanna was buried at Ugborough 
in 1579. WilHam^ Kinge (mentioned in the next succeeding para- 
graph as of the second generation) and his wife Margaret named 
iheir eldest son Thomas and one of their daughters Joanna ; there- 
fore I infer that Thomas^ Kynge was the father of this William^ 

Kinge. 

II. 

SECOND GENERATION. 

William- and Margaret Kinge. The Register of Baptisms 
shows the following children of William and Margaret Kinge : 

i. Alicia and Joanna bapt. 1577. 

ii. Thomas bapt. 1581. 

iii. Robert bapt. 1584. 

The parish register does not show the baptism of a William 
nor any other child after Robert, baptized in 1584, yet it is prob- 
able that such a child named William was so born to William 
and Margaret Kinge, because in the year 1621 a William Kinge, 
as will hereafter appear, was married to Christina (Christia) 
Lapp, while there appears from the Parish registers to have been 
no other family of Kinge at Ugborough except William Kinge 
and Margaret, his wife, who could have had a child of sufficient 
age to marry at that time (1621). It may be that he was bap- 
tized, if at all, in some neighboring parish where perhaps the 
parents of Margaret resided, or possibly in London, to which 



GENERATIONS IN ENGLAND. 53 

William and Margaret King may have gone about 1587-8, for in 
these years the inhabitants of this part of Devonshire were expect- 
ing a hostile invasion of their coast by the Spaniards. In 1587-8 
the British navy was concentrated at Plymouth to repel the great 
(and, as claimed, the invincible) Spanish Armada. In Plymouth 
Harbor lay 120 English ships awaiting the approach of the 
Spaniards and the Port of Plymouth alone supplied seven of these 
ships, manned with sailors recruited from the neighborhood. 
This was the fleet that sailed under Drake and Hawkins, both of 
whom were Devonshire men, to that memorable victory (1588) 
over their Spanish foe. It is probable, therefore, that William 
and Margaret Kinge were the great grandparents of James King, 
of Suffield, Connecticut, and it may be that the records of some 
neighboring parish or some parish in London will hereafter make 
this certain. 

III. 

THIRD GENERATION. 

William' and Christina (Christia Lapp) Kinge. The record 
from the Ugborough Parish Registers relating to them is as fol- 
lows: 

"1621 — Willus Kinge et Christia Lapp nupti erant 27 Septem- 
bris." (A. D. 1621 — William Kinge and Christina Lapp were 
married 27th of September.) 

These I suppose to have been the grand parents of James 
King of Suffield, whose father in such case probably was born 
in 1622. As the Ugborough Parish registers show that in 1642 
a William Kinge there married Agneta Elwill and no other King 
family appears in the records between the years 162 1 and 1642, 
I think fair to assume that this William Kinge (father of James 
King of Suffield) was the son of William and Christina (Lapp) 
Kinge. 

Heretofore, from the meagerness of the records, we have been 
compelled to rely on probabilities but from this point forward 
the records are complete and we shall deal only in certainties sup- 
ported by the Parish Registers. 

Before leaving these prior generations, however, we must note 
the persistence of the christian name, William, in the Kinge fam- 



54

ily above and its transmission from father to son. It was the 
usual custom in England from about A. D. 1550 (the period of 
the Reformation) and especially thereafter among the Puritans 
both in England and America to christen the eldest son with his 
father's christian name. James King's elder brother was named 
William and even in America James King of Suffield and his 
descendants followed this rule of giving their eldest (or some 
other) son the name of his father. This recognized custom 
strengthens the probability of the descent of a William from one 
of the same name. 

IV. 

FOURTH GENERATION. 

William* and Agnes (Elwill) Kinge. These were the 
parents of our immigrant ancestor James King, Founder of the 
King Family of Suffield, Connecticut. William* King married 
in Ugborough, Devonshire, England, Oct. 16, 1642, Agnes Elwill, 
who died in Ugborough, April 7, 1662. They had two children, 
viz.: William^ King; baptized in Ugborough, Dec. 31, 1643; 
and James King, baptized in Ugborough, Nov. 7, 1647; ^i^d 
in Suffield, Connecticut, May 13, 1722; married (i) in Ipswich, 
Massachusetts, March 23, 1674, Elizabeth Fuller; (2) in West- 
field, Massachusetts, Feb. 27, 1716, Hannah Loomis. 

The following are verbatim copies of entries made in the 
Ugborough Parish Registers: 

marriages. 

"1642 — Willimus Kinge et Agneta Elwill nupti erant 16 Octo- 
bris" (A. D. 1642 — William King and Agnes Elwill were married 
1 6th of October). 

BAPTISMS. 

''1643— Willimus fil. Willimi Kinge et Agnetae, ux. bap. fuit 
ultimo die Decemb." (A. D. 1643— William, son of William 
Kinge and of Agnes, wife, was baptized the last day of Decem- 
ber). 

"1647 — Jacobus, fil. Willi Kinge et Agnetae uxor eius 
bapt. 7 die Novembris" (A. D. 1647 — James, son of William 



GENERATIONS IN ENGLAND. 55 

Kinge and of Agnes his wife, baptized 7th day of November). 
Jacobus is the Latinized form of James (see Names and their 
meaning, by Wagner, page 254). The statutes of King James I 
of England (1566-1625) are called statutes "Jacobi." The Greek 
form of James in the New Testament is Jacobus. The coins 
of the time of King James I (A. D. 1603- 1625) and of King 
James II (1685-1689) are inscribed "jacobus, dei gratia, rex." 

The period between the marriage of William Kinge to Agnes 
Elwill (1642) and the birth of James King (1647) was that 
of the great Puritan Revolution in England. Both Exeter and 
Plymouth, between which cities lay Ugborough, were besieged 
and the whole neighborhood was the scene of severe conflicts 
between the Puritan and Royalist forces. Actual hostilities con- 
tinued from 1642 to 1649 when King Charles was brought to 
the scaffold and the Commonwealth with Oliver Cromwell at 
its head was established. Thus our ancestor James King of 
Sufifield was ushered into the world in the midst of a great 
revolution, wherein a king lost his head, a monarchy was tem- 
porarily overthrown and a great Commonwealth inaugurated. 

One hundred and twenty-five jears later ( 1775-6) the descend- 
ants of this same James King in America, among whom were 
Lieutenant Eliphalet King, Ichabod, Joseph, Thaddeus, Dan 
King and others of the family, assisted at Bunker Hill and in 
the War of the Revolution to crush out forever the tyranny of 
Monarchy in our American colonies and laid the foundation of 
our present great republic. 

Again nearly a century rolls by (1861-4) and the descendants 
of those Revolutionary Patriots are found shedding their blood 
and giving up their lives to perpetuate the government which 
their ancestors helped to establish. Major Barnabas King falls 
at Shiloh and on the battlefield of Chicamauga on September 
20, 1863, the brave and gallant Col. Edward Augustine King, 
a grandson of the Revolutionary Patriot, Lieutenant Eliphalet 
King, and colonel of the 6th U. S. Infantry, while commanding 
the Second Brigade, Reynolds Division, 14th Army Corps, laid 
down his life in the holy cause of liberty and for the preservation 
of the Union. 

Still another generation succeeded the Civil War veterans and 



56 KING GENEALOGV. 

1898 brought on a war with Spain in the sacred interest of 
humanity and to free bleeding Cuba from a tyrant's intolerable 
oppression. Again descendants of the old King Family of Suf- 
field are found battling for their country. George Cameron 
King, great-great grandson of Lieutenant Eliphalet King, en- 
listed with the famous Roosevelt Rough Riders (ist U. S. V. 
Cavalry) and won honor and distinction for his brave and 
meritorious conduct as a soldier at Las Guasimas, the great 
charge up San Juan Hill, the battle before Santiago and in 
every battle fought in Cuba in which the Rough Riders partici- 
pated. Who can say that love of liberty and patriotism are not 
inheritable qualities ! 

Let us, however, return to the subject of the English ancestry 
of the King Family of Suffield. In August, 1903, I wrote to 
Rev. W. E. Windle, Vicar of Ugborough Parish, Devonshire, 
England, for a complete list of all baptisms, marriages and 
burials in the King family appearing in the Parish Registers 
of Ugborough from their beginning in 1538 down to the year 
1670 and also for a certified copy of the entry therein showing 
the earliest record in the parish of the marriage of a female 
member of the King family ; also for certified copies of the 
record of baptism of any children of William and Margaret 
Kinge made between the years 1584 and 1605; also for certified 
copy of the record of marriage between William Kinge and 
Christina Lapp (then supposed to be Lange) ; also for certified 
copy of any other entry showing the marriage of a William Kinge 
or King, and certified copies of the record of baptism of any 
children of William and Agneta Kinge. Rev. Mr. Windle sent 
to me a list of baptisms, marriages and burials of members of 
the King family and also the following certified entries :

information relative to William Kinge of Ugborough, who there. 
on October 16, 1642, married Agneta Elwill, and was the father 



58 KING GENEALOGY. 

of James King, who was baptized at Ugborough November 7, 
1647, 2in<i settled at Suffield, Connecticut in 1678. 

Dr. Alexander^ King (Joseph* James^ James-, of Suffield, 
William^ of Ugborough), who was born at Suffield in 1737, and 
lived there until his death in 1802, was the author in 1796 of 
a very full genealogical and historical record of the King family 
of Suffield down to that time, beginning with William Kinge 
of Ugborough. During all the early years of his life Dr. King 
was contemporary with four of the children of James King, 
Senior, and was in constant intercourse with them. With Wil- 
liam, one of the four, at the time of whose decease he was 
thirty-seven years of age, he evidently sustained peculiarly inti- 
mate relations, for after devoting three pages to an elaborate 
and somewhat eulogistic sketch of his personal characteristics, 
and the prominent position which he occupied in public affairs, 
he frankly adds : "If after the character I have given Dr. King 
(in which however I conceive I have not done him justice), I 
should say I honor and respect his memory for he was my father's 
and my friend, it may perhaps be retorted upon me Proprio 
laus sordet in ore." (Praise is cheap in one's own mouth.) 

Dr. Alexander King was himself prominent in public affairs 
tor a long period of time. For many years he represented 
Suffield in the General Assembly of Connecticut, and in January, 
1788, he was a delegate to the Convention held at Hartford to 
ratify the Constitution of the United States. 

From his record we learn that William Kinge, who lived at 
Ugborough, Devonshire, in the west of England, was interested 
in the Fisheries on the New England coast, "and on his last 
voyage in that business he was cast away and drowned on the 
banks of Newfoundland. He had two sons, James and William, 
who both came to America and settled, Wjlliam in one of the 
southern States, of whom I can give no further account." 

It may be interesting to notice here the fact that the fishing 
trade between England and America appears to have been an 
important and profitable enterprise in those days, and for half 
a century previously. It is a matter of history that Capt. John 
Smith, the founder of the Colony of Virginia, was employed 
during the summer of 1614 in fishing off the New England coast. 



GENERATIONS IN ENGLAND. 59 

near to the Isles of Shoals, which he named "Smyth's Isles," 
and there loaded two vessels with fish, returning with them 
to England the same year. The Isles of Shoals were for two 
centuries famous as fishing grounds, and were probably the best 
locality in America for carrying on the Fisheries industry (Mass. 
Hist. Coll. 1st Series, vol. 7, page 247). We shall speak of the 
Newfoundland fisheries hereinafter in connection with William 
Kinge, Sr. 

We have no further information relative to William of Ug- 
borough, and the date of his decease is not known. His son 
James, the founder of the Suffield family, was certainly at 
Ipswich, Mass., in April, 1670, as he then made a deposition 
there of which we shall speak hereafter.

PRIOR ENGLISH ANCESTOR. 

Going back to a period long before the opening of parish 
registers, we find a much earlier probable ancestor in Roger 
King, living at Dodbrook, 8 miles from Ugborough Church, 
Devonshire, in 1389, who was a landed proprietor, and made 
the deed above herein described by which he conveyed to John 
Sormond, A. D. 1389, a triangular piece of land at Dodbrook.

EXPLANATION. 

The abbreviations used in the following pages, beside those 
which are of customary and general use, are as follows : b. for 
born ; bapt. for baptized ; d. for died ; m. for married ; dau. 
for "daughter of"; Suf. for Suffield, Connecticut. The small 
number after a Christian name indicates the number of genera- 
tions down from and inclusive of the first ancestor who was- 
in America. 

The asterisk * following the Arabic numerals placed in the 
margin just before the Roman numerals which precede the name 
of a child indicates that a further history and genealogy of the 
person so designated will be found later on in the book under 
the same number in larger bold-faced type. Thus "io*vii 
Joseph," etc., indicates that the genealogy and history of Joseph 
is continued and extended in a paragraph further along in the 
book and numbered 10- These numbers may be used as cross- 
references backward as well as forward. 

The descendants of James King of Sufifield are arranged and 
grouped herein by generations in the order of their regular suc- 
cession. The name of every child mentioned among the "issue" 
of its parents, and whose surname is King, is given a number. 
The descendants of a female King, who by marriage takes the 
surname of her husband, are grouped together under the num- 
bered paragraph devoted to and descriptive of her ; and her 
descendants are therein given and carried down to and including; 
her great-grandchildren, if their records could be obtained. 




PI! 



SUFFIELD, CONNECTICUT. 

Although James King, the Founder of our Family in America,, 
settled first at Ipswich, Mass., where he married and in which 
place his eldest son was born, yet very soon after this last event 
he moved to Suffield, where in October, 1678, he had a grant 
of land and where all his other children were born. In Suffield 
he lived for nearly forty-five years and there in 1722 he died. 
There, too, his wife and children and very many of their descend- 
ants lived and died. The voting list of the town for the year 
1904 — two and one-quarter centuries having elapsed since James 
King settled there — contains the names of eleven of his descend- 
ants bearing the surname King, who continue to reside in the old 
town. Suffield is therefore properly considered the birthplace 
and the original ancestral home of the family in America. 

Springfield, Mass., the parent town of Suffield, was settled in 
1636 by families from Roxbury and was called "Aguam" or "Aga- 
wam" until 1640. It embraced the territory which afterward be- 
came Suffield. The General Court of Massachusetts on October 12, 
1670, granted a petition for the grant of a new town "six miles 
square on the West side of the Connecticut river toward Windsor 
from Springfield." This was Suffield, at first called Stoney River 
and also Southfield Plantation. It continued to be a part of Hamp- 
shire county, Mass., until 1749 when it passed from the juris- 
diction of Massachusetts to that of Connecticut and became a 
part of Hartford county. Northampton, which was the county 
seat of Hampshire county, was on the Connecticut river about 
seventeen miles north of Springfield. Indian troubles and King 
Philip's War, which lasted from 1674 to 1675, during which 
time Springfield was destroyed, caused the town of Suffield to 
be abandoned. Its settlement was also much retarded by the 
heavy growth of timber which made its clearing difficult. The 
first town meeting was held March 9, 1682, at which there were 
only thirty-four qualified voters, of which James King was one.

The town books for recording marriages, births and deaths 
are of interest. The first of these is a small foHo and its entries 
indicate that it was in use from the time of the town's organiza- 
tion in 1682 to 1740. It is sadly shattered by the wear of two 
centuries and more than thirty pages are lost. A second book 
containing similar records from 1740 to 1762 is not to be found. 
A third book from 1762 to 1799 is in good condition. In Dec. 
1799 the town ordered the town clerk (Dr. Alexander King, 
grandson of James King) to "collect and transcribe all the records 
of marriages, births and deaths into one book." He had completed 
the transcription with an index in an admirable manner before 
his death, which occurred Oct. 12, 1802. This book is now styled 
"Suffield Records, Births, Marriages and Deaths, Vol. I." 



FIRST GENERATION. 



William^ Kinge, born in Ugborough, Devonshire, England, 
1622 (?). Though we closed our English Ancestry with his 
name and there is no evidence that he ever abandoned his resi- 
dence at Ugborough, or acquired one in America, yet as the 
constant practice of the family, and those writing on the genealogy 
of the King Family of Suffield, has been to begin with him as 
the first, or immigrant, ancestor in tracing down our American 
line, we may be permitted, in order to avoid possible contusion 
of enumeration, to follow this precedent ; and indeed, as he lost 
his life on the American coast and was at that time interested in 
American fisheries, he may perhaps not inappropriately be placed 
as the first in our American line of ancestry and thus form a 
connecting link between our English and American lines. 

William Kinge married at Ugborough Oct. 16, 1642, Agnes 
Elwill, who probably belonged to the same family from whom 
descended John Elwill, created a Baronet at Exeter, Devonshire, 
in the year 1709. In our title English Ancestry (supra) we gave 
the record of the marriage of William Kinge and Agnes Elwill 
as it appears in the Parish Register of Ugborough as follows: 
"1642 — Willimus Kinge et Agneta Elwill nupti erant 16 Octo- 
bris." She was buried at Ugborough April 7, 1662, and the 
following record of her burial also appears in the Ugborough 
Parish Register: "1662 Agneta, Uxor Gulielmi Kinge sepulta 
luit septimo die Aprilis." 

It is probable that soon after the death of his wife William 

Kinge brought or sent his two children to America, though 

neither the date of his nor their arrival in New England can 

be fixed with certainty. He had, however, become interested 

in the fisheries on the coast, and we know that he was engaged 

in that business at the time of his death. Dr. Alexander^ King 

(Joseph* James^ James^ William^) in his genealogical notes says 

that "While upon his last voyage in that business he was cast 



66 KING GENEALOGY. 

away and drowned on the Banks of Newfoundland," but unfor- 
tunately he has omitted to give the date of that occurrence. Dr. 
Alexander King (as we have heretofore said), though born at 
Suffield in 1737, yet was during all his early life contemporary 
with four of the children of James King of Suffield, son of 
William Kinge, and certainly must have been well informed as 
to the manner and time of the death of William Kinge, for 
of these children of James, with whom Dr. Alexander King was 
very intimate, the youngest was twenty-five and the oldest forty- 
seven years of age when their father died and they must have 
frequently heard him tell about the circumstance of the drowning 
of his father — their grandfather. It probably occurred while 
James King was at Ipswich, Mass., and before he went to Suffield 
in 1678. 

In connection with the circumstance that William Kinge was 
interested in fisheries on the American coast and "while on his 
last voyage in that business was cast away and drowned on the 
Banks of Newfoundland," and in view of his social standing and 
position shown by his right to bear a coat of arms, it is of 
inteiest to note the importance, at that time, of the Newfoundland 
fisheries and the fact that a great number of the gentry and 
even nobility of England were attracted to and were interested 
in that lucrative and adventurous business. Especially was this 
the case with those in Devonshire and the West of England. 

Newfoundland was the oldest of England's colonies, having 
been discovered by John Cabot in 1497. In 1500 Gaspard Corte- 
real, a Portuguese of noble family, sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, 
and established the first regular fisheries in Newfoundland and 
in 1 5 17 there were forty Portuguese, French and Spanish vessels 
engaged in these cod fisheries. Hakluyt's Chronicles inform us 
that in 1578 the number of vessels engaged in the Newfoundland 
fisheries had increased to 400, of which only 50 were English. 
The very great importance of the industry seemed finally to dawn 
upon England. Letters patent were issued by Queen Elizabeth 
to Sir Humphrey Gilbert of Devonshire (half brother of Sir 
Walter Raleigh, who was also interested with him in the enter- 
prise) to found a colony in Newfoundland, and in August, 1583, 
he landed at St. Johns and took formal possession of the country 



FIRST GENERATION. 67 

in the Queen's name. The next month, however, he was cast 
away and drowned on the coast, which for a time ended the 
attempt at colonizing. In 161 5 Capt. Richard Whitbourne of 
Exmouth, Devonshire, was despatched to Newfoundland by the 
British Admiralty to examine into the fishing industry and to 
report thereon. On his return to England in 1622 he wrote a 
"Discourse and Discovery of Newfoundland Trade" which King 
James by an order in Council caused to be distributed among the 
parishes of the kingdom "for the encouragement of Adventurers 
unto plantations there." Many of the gentry disposed of property 
in order to engage in fishing enterprises there. Sir George Cal- 
vert, afterwards Lord Baltimore, obtained a patent covering 
fishing rights in the surrounding waters and established a settle- 
ment near the southern end of the peninsula in Newfoundland, 
building a handsome mansion there, where he resided with his 
family for a few years. As early as 1626 more than 150 vessels 
were annually despatched from Devonshire alone. These left 
early in each summer. The fish caught were salted and dried 
on the Newfoundland shores and on the approach of winter those 
engaged in the fisheries returned to England with the products 
of their enterprise. (Hakluyt's Chronicles; Pedley's Hist. New- 
foundland; Encyc. Brit. "Newfoundland.") Vessels engaged in 
the Newfoundland trade sometimes went to the Isles of Shoals 
and New England ports and it is possible that this was the way 
by which William Kinge brought or sent his son James to Ipswich, 
Mass. 

The children of William and Agnes (Elwill) Kinge were born 
at Ugborough, Devonshire, England.

SECOND GENERATION. 



William^ King, (William^), baptized in Ugborough, Co. 

Devon., England, Dec. 31, 1643; died . The record of his 

baptism is to be found in the Parish Register at Ugborough and 
is as follows : 

"1643 — Willimus, fil. Willimi Kinge et Agnetae ux. bapt. fuit 
ultimo die Decemb." 

(1643 — William, son of William Kinge and of Agnes, wife, 
was baptized the last day of December.) 

He came with his brother, James, to America. Dr. Alexander* 
King (Joseph* James^ James^ William^) in his genealogical notes 
says that William^ King went to some southern colony. 

We have no further record of him. 



James^^ King, (IVilliam^), baptized in Ugborough, Devonshire, 
England, Nov. 7, 1647; died in Suffield May 13, 1722; married 
(l) in Ipswich, Mass., March 23, 1674, Elizabeth Fuller, daughter 
cf John and Elizabeth (Emerson) Fuller, born in Ipswich, Mass., 
May 31, 1652; died in Suffield June 30, 1715: (2) in Westfield, 
Feb. 27, 171 6, Hannah Loomis, widow of Samuel Loomis, who 
died at Suffield Nov. 6, 1711. She died at Suffield in 1720. 
James King was the Founder of 'the King Family of Suffield, 
Connecticut. The record of his baptism in the Parish Register 
of Ugborough, Devonshire, is as follows : 

"1647 — Jacobus, fil Will'i Kinge et Agnetae, uxor eius, bapt. 
7 die Novembris." 

(1647 — James, son of William Kinge and of Agnes, his wife, 
baptized seventh day of November.) 

His mother Agnes (Elwill) Kinge died at- Ugborough April 7, 
1662, and it is probable that very shortly thereafter he and his 
brother William came to New England. It is likely that immedi- 
ately on his arrival in America James King was placed at Ipswich, 



SECOND GENERATION. 69 

Mass., though we have no record of the presence there of either 
his father or brother. 

If James King came to America soon after the death of his 
mother in 1662, he was on his arrival only about fifteen years 
of age and it is probable that he then began to acquire or was 
taught the trade of a cooper at Ipswich, Mass., in accordance 
with the custom among those early pioneers that every person, 
no matter how gentle his birth and breeding, should take up some 
useful occupation. This is well expressed by the late United 
States Senator George F. Hoar, in his "Autobiography of Seventy 
Years" (Vol. I. p. 41). In speaking of these early settlers of 
New England, Senator Hoar says : "They were of good English 
stock. Many of them were of gentle blood and entitled to bear 
coat armor at home. It is interesting also to observe how little 
the character of the gentleman or gentlewoman in our New 
England people is affected by the pursuit for generations of 
humble occupations, which in other countries are deemed degrad- 
ing. Our ancestors, during nearly two centuries of poverty 
which followed the first settlement, turned their hands to the 
humblest ways of getting a livelihood, became shoemakers, or 
blacksmiths or tailors, or did the hardest and most menial and 
rudest work of the farm, shoveled gravel, or chopped wood, 
without any of the effect on their character which would be likely 
to be felt from the permanent pursuit of such an occupation in 
old England or Germany. It was like a fishing party or a 
hunting party in the woods. When the necessity was over, and 
the man or boy in any generation got a college education, or 
was called to take part in public affairs he rose at once and easily 
to the demands of an exalted station." Very many of those whose 
families bore coats of arms in the old country did, as James 
King did — applied themselves to trades or manual labor. Thus 
we see the son of Thomas Emerson, an undoubted armiger, 
applying himself to the trade of a baker. 

It is not to be expected that during his youth and while he 
was learning a trade we should find any public record relating 
to the life of James King at Ipswich, Mass. The first definite 
public record of his presence at Ipswich consists of a deposition 



•JO KING GENEALOGY. 

made by him there on April 21, 1670, which is on file in the 
office of the Clerk of Courts, Salem, Mass., Vol. XV: 124, and 
is as follows : 

--"The deposition of James Kinge being about 18 years of Age."~ 
"This deponent saith that he heard Elizabeth Roper say to good- 
wife hunt, that she should not need to be in such hast to fetch 
a warrant, and goodwife hunt replied, she could say with a safe 
conscience, she had not bene forgave." 

Taken upon oath 21th of April 1670 

Samuel Symonds" 

It is only in the heading, title or preamble of the deposition 
that the age of James Kinge is stated to be "about" 18 years. 
It does not appear that he said his age was about 18 years. 
It was probably intended to say that he was "above" 18 years of 
age and the statement is made undoubtedly simply to show that 
the witness had attained years of discretion sufficient to enable 
him to understand the nature of an oath and with no purpose 
of attempting in any way to fix at all accurately his age, as is 
even now frequently the case in depositions. It was probably 
put in by the clerk or official administering the oath as a matter 
of form for the purpose indicated above and perhaps James may 
have appeared to him younger than he really was. At all events 
It is of no weight in fixing his age, as the Ugborough Parish 
Registers show he was baptized November 7, 1647. The title 
of the case in which the above deposition was made is : "Samuel 
Hunt and wife vs. Sarah Roper" in which Mrs. Hunt accuses 
Mrs. Roper of steaHng a bodkin from her at church! 

The records of the town transfers of real estate show that 
in 1673 James King bought from Obadiah Wood a house and 
lot in Ipswich and that on May 21, 1679, he sold the same to 
Andrew Dymond, having in the mean time married and removed 
with his family to Suffield. 

The marriage of James King to Elizabeth Fuller was celebrated 
at Ipswich, Mass., March 23, 1674, and is recorded in the town 
records. She was the daughter of John Fuller, who came from 
England and settled at Ipswich in 1635. John Fuller was de- 
scended from a very old family which had lived at Redenhall, 
Co. Norfolk, England, from a period certainly earlier than the 



SECOND GENERATION. 7I 

year 1482. From this family also came Dr. Samuel Fuller, who 
in 1620 was one of those embarked at Delfthaven, Holland, on 
the "Speedwell" for America and when that vessel proved un- 
seaworthy and was abandoned he and his brother Edward Fuller, 
the latter's wife and their son Samuel, and William Butten the 
servant of Dr. Samuel Fuller made five of the one hundred and 
two passengers whom the Mayflower carried to America. The will 
of John Fuller probated Sept. 25, 1666, and still on file at the 
office of the Clerk of Probate at Salem, mentions his daughter 
Elizabeth and provides as follows: "To my daughters Susanna 
and Elizabeth, I give ten shillings apiece at the day of their 
marryage or when they are twenty yeares of age : to whom also 
I give no more because their Grandfather hath lately given them 
portions." The "Grandfather" in this will referred to was 
Thomas Emerson, whose will (still on file at Salem) was pro- 
bated May 10, 1666, a month only before John Fuller's death, 
which occurred June 4, 1666. Thomas Emerson's will mentions 
his grand-daughter Elizabeth Fuller (afterward wife of James 
King) as follows: "Also in refrens to the twenty-fifth lin of 
this my wil it is to be vnderstod that what ther is mentioned 
as to my daughter ffulor is my intent that it shall be holy and 
fuly devided between hur tow daughter at ye age of twenty 
vers or at ye day of mariadg; Susanna and Elizabeth." 

The mother of Elizabeth (Fuller) King, wife of James King, 
was Elizabeth (Emerson) Fuller daughter of Thomas Emerson, 
the first ancestor in America of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thomas 
Emerson was baptized at Bishops Stortford, Co. Herts, England, 
July 26, 1584, married there Elizabeth Brewster (probably the 
daughter of William Brewster, the postmaster at Scrooby and the 
famous elder of the Pilgrims in 1620) July i, 161 1, and his 
daughter Elizabeth, who became wife of John Fuller, was bap- 
tized at Bishops Stortford June 14, 1623. Thomas* Emerson 
(Robert^ of Bishops Stortford, Thomas^ of Great Dunmow, Co. 
Essex, Ralf^ of Foxton) was a descendant of Ralph (Ralf.) 
Emerson of Foxton, Bishopric of Durham, who in the reign of 
Henry VHI A. D. 1535 was granted arms: "Per fesse indented, 
vert and or, a bend engrailed, arg, charged with three lions pas- 
sant of the first, bezante : crest, a demi-lion rampant, vert, bezante, 



72 



KING GENEALOGY. 



grasping a battle axe, gules, headed arg." Thomas Emerson 
settled at Ipswich, Mass., as early as 1638 and left a very consid- 
erable estate there at his death on May i, 1666. 

Elizabeth (Fuller) King, wife of James King, was born at 
Ipswich, Mass., May 31, 1652. Her grandmother (Emerson) 
was presented by Queen Elizabeth with certain household goods 
and particularly a piece of fine linen which, descending to Eliza- 
beth (Fuller) King, was carefully preserved as an heirloom and 
in turn given to her daughter, Agnes King who married John 
Austin. Elizabeth King reared her daughters in habits of indus- 
try and among their accomplishments was that of making lace. 
She died at Suffield June 30, 17 15. 

The first child of James^ King and his wife Elizabeth was 
James^, and he was born at Ipswich, Mass., March 14, 1675, an 
entry of which appears in the Ipswich records. The next child, 
William, born Jan. 4, 1679, and all their other children were born 
at Suffield. 

James King, as shown by the town records of Suffield, which 
are nearly complete from the year 1678, was one of the original 
proprietors of Suffield, his name being the fifty-eighth in the 
list of one hundred of the first grantees of lands in the order of 
their several grants. The first grant of land to him was made 
October 30, 1678. It consisted of sixty acres on High street 
"next south of the school lot." On it he proceeded at once to 
erect a dwelling house, which thenceforth for a long period of 
time was the family homestead. Other grants were thereafter 
made to him. 

The first town meeting was held March 9, 1682. Although 
there were about three hundred inhabitants, there were only 
thirty-four qualified voters because of the considerable property 
qualification. James King was one of these. He was quite 
prominent in the public affairs of the town, held many important 
offices and was on several committees requiring the exercise of 
sound judgment. 

At the town meeting March 3, 1685, for the election of town 
officers, James King was chosen "Tithingman." Tithingmen 
were first chosen in Suffield in 1684. Their duties were various 
and it was deemed a very important and responsible office. They 



SECOND GENERATION. 73 

were "to inspect all licensed houses of entertainment and to 
inform of all disorders or misdemeanors committed in them, to 
present and inform of all idle and disorderly persons, profane 
swearers or cursers, sabbath breakers and the like offenders." 
They were public prosecutors and called informers and were 
much reverenced by the law abiding and much feared by the 
transgressor. Their insignia of office was "a black stafif two- 
feet long, tipt at one end with brass about three inches; as a 
badge of their office to be provided by the selectmen at the charge 
of the town." (Sheldon's Hist, of Suffield.) 

On March 5, 1695, James King was elected a selectman of the 
town; in 1701 chosen "Surveyor of Highways." On March 16, 
1702, he was chosen "by a clear vote" one of a committee of 
three "to take care of and to manage the whole business of 
erecting and finishing ye School house according to ye Town 
Vote." March 14, 1709, he was chosen Clerk. March 13, 1710, 
he was chosen "Searcher and Sealer of Weights and Measures 
and Guager of Casks." He was re-elected yearly thereafter to 
the same office which he held until the year 1715, when his wife 
Elizabeth died and he seems to have retired from public life. 

March 25, 1697, there was granted to James King a homestead 
or house lot for his son. The school lot adjoined the property 
of James King on the north, and on March 3, 1691, he was 
granted "liberty to improve an acre or two" of the school lot 
"till the town shall have occassion to use it." In April, 1703, 
"it was agreed and voted to let out the schooll lot for this year 
to James King, ye ist he allowing the Town five shillings rent 
as a compensation for the same, and at ye end of the tearm to 
resign it up to the town again." This lease appears to have 
been renewed from year to year, for from 1703 until his death 
in 1722 he continued to hold this school lot consisting of 40 
acres at a rental of five shillings a year, and his son William 
thereafter continued to hold it at the same rental for ten years 
after the death of James. - 

The second wife of James King was Hannah Loomis, whom 
he married Feby 27, 1716. She died at Suffield in 1720 without 
issue. She was the widow of Sergt. Samuel Loomis, who died 
at Suffield Nov. 6, 171 1. James King's children were all by 



74 KING GENEALOGY. 

his first wife, Elizabeth. From 1678 the records in the Clerk's 
office at Suffield furnish nearly a complete registry of the births, 
marriages and deaths of his numerous descendants, who were 
born and lived there — at least until their removal from the town. 
James King died at Suffield May 13, 1722. During his lifetime 
he acquired a considerable landed and personal estate, most of 
which he distributed among his children during his lifetime, 
leaving him little to dispose of by will. His will was probated 
at Northampton, Hampshire Co., Mass., on Aug. 30, 1722, 
where it still remains on file. The will is as follows :

On the 30th day of August 1722 Edward 
Smith June Eleazer Stockwell and Joseph Winchell the sub- 
scribing witnesses to the aforegoing Will appeared before Sam* 
^ Partridge Esq"" Judge of the Probate of Wills &c., for the

Will and Testam* and y* he was of sound mind and Perfect 
memory to the best of there understanding when he did it, which 
s<* Will was approved and allowed of by the s<* Judge

The seal after James King's name seems to have been stamped 
by a circular signet, but the wax is now broken and only small 
fragments remain, rendering it impossible to tell whether a coat 
of arms was once impressed thereon. 

Although this will was made only three days before his death, 

yet it is evident that thereafter, and before he died, he actually 

. disposed of most of the property mentioned therein, by gift to 

his children, since the inventory of his estate makes no mention 

; of the cows, sheep and much of the other personal property 

named in his will. The inventory includes merely furniture, 

an old sword which perhaps had belonged to his father and some 

money on hand, etc., amounting in all to a little over £145. 

Besides the above will there are only two other instruments 

; now in existence, so far as known, which bear the signature of 

James King. These we copy below:

The seals after the names of James King and Elizabeth King 
were once of red wax, but both have been broken and powdered 
until only traces of red powder remain, rendering it impossible 
to tell whether either seal ever had any design impressed thereon. 

Elizabeth King, as we have said, was born in Ipswich, Mass., 
in 1652, and at that time there were there no school facilities 
for the education of females. There were scarcely any women 
of her generation there who could write their names. She was 
one of nine children — seven boys and two girls — and home duties 
in those days scarcely permitted school instruction. Both the 
father and mother of Elizabeth (Fuller) King were well educated 
and wrote well, and two of her uncles were ministers, one being 
a graduate of Harvard.

A photographic copy of the above deed is presented on the

On the seal to the foregoing instrument are impressed the 
King Coat of Arms which we have already discussed quite fully 
(pages 25-37 ante) and to which we need not here make 
further reference except to say it was undoubtedly that of his 
family in England and brought with him or his father to this 
country ; and although, when as a mere lad of fifteen or sixteen 
years of age he arrived in New England, he at once, in obedience 
to the prevailing sentiment of the time and place, embraced a 
trade and useful occupation, yet he was none the less of gentle 
blood and entitled to the Coat Armor he used and which his 
descendants have ever since borne. 

James King had nine children, three of whom died in infancy 
and six survived him.

THIRD GENERATION. 



James^ King (James^, William^), born in Ipswich, Mass., 
March 14, 1675; died in Suffield July 15, 1757; married in Suf- 
field June 22, 1698, Elizabeth Huxley, who died in Suffield 
Aug. 20, 1745. She was the daughter of Thomas Huxley of 
Hartford, Conn., and Suffield, by his first wife, Sarah Spencer, 
daughter of Sergt. Thomas Spencer (brother of Jared and John) 
of Cambridge and Hartford by his second wife, Sarah' (Na- 
thanieP) Bearding. James King was a prominent citizen and 
held many offices of trust. He was elected March 26, 171 6, 
Tithingman. In 1721 and 1731 he was a Selectman. In 1721 
he was interested in the iron works on Stony Brook at the 
lower end of High street in Suffield, which were still in operation 
as late as 1770. He amassed a considerable landed estate which 
is still enjoyed by his descendants. He saw Suffield during his 
lifetime change from a wilderness to an attractive town. After 
the death of his wife and his oldest son, James, and youngest 
son, Amos, but twelve years before his own decease, he made 
his will, which still remains on file at Hartford, Conn.

Suffield, was about sixteen miles east from the latter place and 
Tolland (Toaland) where Benjamin King's "well esteemed

Captain Joseph King was a very prominent man in Suffield. 
His well known integrity and uprightness together with his 
accuracy and fidelity in the transaction of official business caused 
him to be greatlv trusted and his time to be much occupied 
in public affairs. He was Captain of a military company. Dec. 
19, 1721, he was elected Tithingman ; Dec. 2, 1726, Moderator 
of the Town Meeting; March 11, 1728, Selectman and also 
Moderator; at the same time he was also chosen one of the 
"trustees to receive the towns proportion of 60,000 pound loan

(of which the towns proportion was 405 pounds) and to let 
it out at the towns discretion." May 6, 1728, he was again 
Moderator; March 10, 1729, Selectman; April 16, 1729, he was 
elected Town Treasurer and being re-elected each succeeding 
year, he held that office for twelve years and until 1741. In 
each succeeding year thereafter he was chosen Selectman and 
Moderator. June 11, 1739, Joseph King having been chosen 
Moderator of the Town Meeting, the following proceedings 
thereat were taken : "Joseph King, Gent™-, was chosen agent 
in behalf of the Town of Suffield to make answer to a petition 
exhibited to the General Court now sitting at Boston, by the 
inhabitants of the West part of said town praying to be set off 
into a Distinct and Separate Society by themselves : and the 
said King to show Reasons Why they ought not to be soe Sett 
off." The petition referred to was for the formation of the 
Second Ecclesiastical Society and had been made in May, 1739. 
The General Court deferred a decision and recommended an 
arrangement by a committee chosen by mutual agreement of both 
parties. This was done and the decision of the committee was 
ratified by the General Court Jany i, 1740. 

The answer or brief in the handwriting of "Joseph King, 
Gent''"," giving reasons why the town should not be divided 
into Ecclesiastical Societies has been preserved and is still on 
file among the town records of Suffield. It presents the reasons 
against such a division of the town into ecclesiastical societies 
or precincts very forcibly, clearly and concisely. The closing 
paragraphs are as follows : 

"The great inconvenience of breaking Towns into small pre- 
cincts makes parties in Towns and being unable to give yt 
honorable support to Ministers which is meet, has a tendency 
to breed discord between Minister and People and proves a 
wound to Religion ; and no man of learning and parts will be 
willing to settle in such places: and so they must take up with 
weak means which opens a c^oor for seducers to infuse Corrupt 
principles and bring a scandctt-upon Religion. 

The extream charges of ye Province & war approaching is 
to be considered" etc. (The war referred to as approaching 
was probably that with the French known as King George's War "> 



THIRD GENERATION. 89 

The Committee against division was "Joseph King and Sam^ 
Kent Gent™ and WilHam King, Yeoman" who with a committee 
in favor of division signed an agreement selecting Arbitrators 
to determine the question. (Sheldon's Hist, of Suffield.) 

Capt. Joseph King acquired a very large estate. He executed 
a great many legal documents and a number of these have been 
preserved and are now in the possession of Miss Margaret E. 
King of Dayton, Ohio. His seal after his signature on these 
legal instruments always has impressed thereon the King Coat 
cf Arms to which we have above herein referred under the 
title "The King Coat of Arms" (p. 29 supra). It would con- 
sume too much space to give these documents in full, but the 
following Deed of Gift to Hannah King his wife will serve as 
an illustration :

Both the above will and Codicil still remain on file in the 
Probate Office at Hartford, Conn. The will was made two days 
before the death of Capt. Joseph King. The child expected to 
be born, and provided for in the Codicil, was born on May 14, 
1756, a little more than two months after Capt. Joseph's death 
and was christened by its mother Ichabod. ("The Glory has 
departed," i Samuel, ch 4, v. 21.)

We have given the above inventory in full just as it appears 
of record as it very well illustrates what the furniture, house- 
hold goods and establishment of a well-to-do gentleman in a 
New England town was in those old days. Indeed from the 
clothing of Captain Joseph mentioned therein we could form a 
pretty fair idea of his external appearance. We have only to 
imagine the old gentleman dressed in his "Blew Broad cloth 
Coat, silver trimming. Red Jackit (vest) and Red Plush (knee) 
briches, gould trimmed both," "silk Stockings" and "silver nee 
buckels," shoes and "silver shoe buckels" with a "Beaver hat" 
upon his head, his queue hanging down behind and in his hand 
his "Cane with silver head" ; or perhaps he is in his "Leather 
Briches with silver Buttons" and mounted upon his "young black

mare" — or again seated in his home and while one of the ladies 
plies her needle and another is at the spinning wheel he in his 
"great Cainback Chear," enjoys his pipe full of home raised 
"tobaco" and sips his glass of "Cyder" drawn from the best 
of the thirteen barrels of that beverage which are stored in his 
cellar. He is described as "a large man of powerful physique." 
A careful examination of the inventory will reveal much con- 
cerning the domestic habits of the inmates of that old New 
England home. 

It will also be observed that one of the items in this inventor}' 
is "a silver seal Kings Coat of Arms." This same seal as we 
have mentioned elsewhere descended regularly through many 
generations and is now in the possession of Miss Emma C. King 
of Xenia, Ohio. The Damask table cloth and napkins are also 
still preserved and the property of Mr. Robert Newton King 
of Dayton, Ohio, and his silver "nee" and shoe "buckels" are 
treasured by another descendant, Mrs. E. A. Arnold of Cum- 
mington, Mass.

The first wife of Capt. Joseph King was Mrs. Mary (Wilson) 
Jesse, widow of David Jesse, sister of Nathaniel Wilson (see 
New England Hist, and Gen. Register, Vol. 13, p. 143, and 
Hoadley's Conn. Col. Rec. Vol. 6, p. 59) and the daughter of 
Phineas Wilson, from Dublin, a wealthy merchant of Hartford, 
by his first wife, Mary Sandford, only daughter of Nathaniel 
and Susanna Sandford. She died Sept. 11, 1737. Capt. Joseph 
King married again at Suffield June 20, 1740, Hannah* Devotion, 
born in Suffield April 24, 1716, daughter of Rev. Ebenezer^ 
Devotion, (John-, Edward^ of Roxbury and Brookline A. D. 
1645) ^"d Hannah (Breck) Devotion his wife, daughter of 
Capt. John Breck of Dorchester, Mass. Edward^ Devotion, the 
first representative of that family in America, was born about 
1621 of French Huguenot parentage. It was evident that his 
name, so distinctively English in its orthography, must have 
undergone some transformation either in England before he 
came to America or after his arrival in New England, in the 
same manner as other well known names were Anglicised, such 
for instance as Delano for De la Noye, Truax for De Trieux, 
Bovie for Beaufils, etc. It was known that the Devotion family 
came originally from La Rochelle. Miss Emma C. King of 
Xenia, Ohio, while in Europe in 1895 traveled from Paris to 
La Rochelle for the sole purpose of obtaining information rela- 
tive to the ancestors of the Devotion family, and obtained tran- 
scripts from official records which seem to leave no doubt that 
the name of Edward Devotion prior to his coming to New 
England was written "de Vaution" and was then changed only 
by Anglicising the spelling, the pronunciation remaining nearly

the same. The transcripts in question are given in the Appendix 
to this book, where a brief history of the Devotion — de Vaution — 
family is given, which will be found of interest to those descended 
from this branch of the King family. 

Rev. Ebenezer Devotion, the father of Mrs. Hannah King, 
wife of Capt. Joseph King, was for many years (1710-1741) 
the minister of the town of Suffield and greatly respected and 
ioved. He was a graduate of Harvard College in 1707. He 
was buried at Suffield and on his tombstone appears the follow- 
ing epitaph: "Here lies the body of the Rev. Mr. Ebenezer 
Devotion, late minister of the Gospel in this Town, who died 
April the nth, 1741, in the 31st year of his ministry. Aetat 57. 
He was a man of sound judgment, great Stability of Mind & 
singular Modesty and Humility, a True Friend and Faithful 
Minister, steady in his attendance upon the Altar, close and 
pungent in his preaching and very exemplary in his life, a 
Pattern of Industry and Resignation and of all Christian Graces. 
As while living he was greatly beloved, so his death was very 
much lamented." 

Rev. Ebenezer Devotion left a considerable estate to be divided 
among his three children, Ebenezer, Hannah and Mary. His 
son Ebenezer Devotion and Capt. Joseph King were the executors 
of his will and upon the latter devolved the principal care of 
the estate for a period of thirteen years until it was finally closed. 
A partial inventory of this estate may be of interest.

The services of Capt. Joseph King in handling the estate 
seem to have been appreciated, for attached to the "Reckoning" 
or settlement of the estate is the following paper : 

"Whereas Capt King one of the aforesaid Executors has 
spent much Time and Care for thirteen Years past to settle 
the aforesaid Estate, and has omitted to take a particular and 
exact account of many the lesser Articles of Time and Charge, 
which cannot be come at I the said Devotion Co-executor with 
him Judge it Reasonable, and accordingly give my consent to 
abate of and allow, the sd Joseph King for such extraordinary 
Trouble 20 pounds which he owes to the Estate, and which has 
not been reckoned in the above Reckoning due to the Estate 
for the Improvement of the Slow Lot and 20 pounds out of his 
debt in the foregoing Page, and to give a quit claim of the 
beforenamed 3 acres and thirty four rod in the great Common,

We who have subscribed this Instrument consent to the same

tion, Ezekiel Bissell, Mary Devotion, Ruth Bissell, John Devo- 
tion." 

Hannah (Devotion) King survived her husband Capt. Joseph 
King nearly fifty years and upon her devolved the task of bring- 
ing up and caring for their numerous children and managing 
the large and valuable estate left by Capt. Joseph. These duties 
she performed with singular skill and excellent judgment. She 
died May 4, 1805, at the advanced age of 89 years. A tombstone 
in the cemetery at Suffield points out the spot where lies "the 
body of Captain Joseph King," near which stands another, 
"Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Hannah King, Relict of Capt. 
Joseph King." His children, two by his first wife and nine by 
his second wife, were born in Suffield.

THIRD GENERATION. Ill 

Suffield March 30, 1727, Abigail Seymour, daughter of Zachana' 
Seymour (RichardV). Mrs. King died June 1796, leaving, it is 
said, one hundred and eighty Hneal descendants surviving her. 
Ebenezer King held several important offices in Suffield and was 
Tithingman there from 1737 to 1748. He was the owner of the 
ferry on the Connecticut river above King's Island before 1749 
and certainly later than 1759, as appears from his petition to the 
Connecticut General Assembly in the latter year. The children 
of Ebenezer King were born in Suffield. His will, made about 
two months before his death, mentions his wife and names his 
children. It is as follows : :

Benjamin* King, (Benjamin,^ James;- WiUiafn'), born in 
Suffield, Conn., Sept. ii, 1717; died in Enfield, Conn., March 8, 
1777; married in Enfield Sept. 26, 1741, Sarah Pease, daughter 
of John and Elizabeth (Spencer) Pease. She died in Enfield 
Feb. 24, 1800. He removed to Enfield prior to 1740 and had a 
blacksmith shop there. He was at the same time a farmer. An 
inventory of his estate, which was valued at 159 pounds 15 shil- 
lings and 2 pence, was filed in the Probate office at Hartford 
April 3, 1777. It mentions the blacksmith shop and tools, his 
land and farming implements, some live stock and also "a maare 
bo't by Naham King, son of the dec'd," homestead, furniture, 
etc. His widow married Samuel Eaton of Enfield, who died 
April 20, 1793, aged 74. 

The descendants of Benjamin* King seem to have lived in a 
corner or place where Longmeadow, East Longmeadow and 
Wilbersham (Wilbraham), all in Massachusetts, join Enfield 
and Somers, both in Connecticut. Somers was originally the 
East Parish of Enfield and was set off and incorporated July, 
1734. East Longmeadow was set oflf from Longmeadow July i, 
1794. Enfield and Somers were in Massachusetts until May, 
1749. Stafford bounds Somers on the east. To the south and 
east of Somers is Ellington. The inhabitants of all these towns 
are practically neighbors. Removing from one of these towns 
to another did not mean a long journey. Sometimes it only 
meant building a new house on another part of the farm. 

Benjamin* King and at least several of his family were Bap- 
tists. The Colonial Records of Connecticut, Vol. XH, p. 271, 
in a list of Baptists belonging to Enfield Church in May, 1764, 
gives Benjamin King and Benjamin King Jr. The fact that 
the family were Baptists renders it difficult at times to get exact 
dates of births, marriages and deaths. Practically the town 
was the orthodox Congregational Church, and that church was 
the town. The consequence was that the Baptists had as little 
as possible to do with the town. If the law required it they 
had births recorded, but in the lax, loose methods of the days 
following the Revolutionary War little recording was done by 



FOURTH GENERATION. II7 

any one, and by the Baptists practically none. Subsequent gen- 
erations of the Benjamin King family seem to have returned to 
the Congregational Church. On March 7, 1790, there was 
admitted to membership in the Enfield First (Congregational) 
Church eight persons among whom were Benjamin*' King Jr., 
Hulda King and Rhoda King, grandchildren of Benjamin* and 
Sarah (Pease) King. These three "were baptized on the day 
they were admitted to communion, being of a family whose 
father was a baptist." All the children of Benjamin* and Sarah 
(Pease) King were born at Enfield.

He was the son of Pelatiah^ (Pelatiah,* Laurence,^ Thomas' of 
Hartford, Conn., Thomas^ of Belstone, England) Bliss and Ann 
Stoughton, daughter of John Stoughton of Windsor, Conn. 
Dr. Pelatiah^ Bliss was the physician of Suffield, surgeon of a 
regiment under Gen. Phineas Lyman of Durham, Conn., in 
the old French war (1755). He died while in the service on his 
return from Lake George Camp. She married again, April — ,

years later.

Joseph* King, {Capt. Joseph,^ James,^ William^), born in

married in Suffield Sept. 12, 1769, Mrs. Tryphena (Kendall) 
Bowker, widow, born Dec. 22, 1738, daughter of Joshua Kendall 
Jr. and Hannah Bement, who were married July 28, 1737. Mrs. 
Tryphena Bowker had by her first husband a daughter, Hannah 
Bowker, who is mentioned in the Will of Joseph King as his 
"daughter-in-law" and who died Feb. 22, 1825. Mrs. Tryphena 
King survived her husband. Among some old papers now in 
the possession of Miss Margaret E. King of Dayton, Ohio, is 
a Will of Joseph King which has no filing mark upon it and 
does not appear ever to have been presented for probate. There 
is no other will of Joseph King to be found on file at Hartford 
nor any inventory — or even mention — of his estate. It seems 
possible that he sold his property at Suffield or made deeds 
of gift to his children, yet no record even of any deeds from 
him can be found, nor can we discover that the title to his 
property ever passed from him or from his estate. There is 
a tombstone to his memory in the old graveyard at Suffield 
recording his death as having occurred March 19, 1814. The 
following is the will above referred to : 

WILL OF JOSEPH KING. 

In the Name of God, Amen: this 27th day of February 1813, 
I, Joseph King, of Suffield in the County of Hartford and State 
of Connecticut being of sound mind and memory thanks be 
given to God therefor. Calling to mind the mortality of my 
body and that it is appointed for all men once to die do make 
and ordain this my last will and testament: principally and first 
of all I recommend my soul to God who gave it and my body 
to the Earth in decent Christian burial. 



FOURTH GENERATION. 121 

And as to such Worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased God 
to bless me I dispose of it in the following manner, viz : 

I give and bequeath unto my loving wife Tryphena the use 
and improvement of one third part of my real estate during 
her natural life and also one third part of my personal estate 
to be at her disposal. 

And whereas my eldest son Joshua K. King has received so 
much already as I judge equal to what each of my other children 
will share of my estate after my decease and he having given 
a receipt that he has received as much as he ought to have of 
my estate I do therefore give and bequeath my estate both real 
and personal to my other children viz : Irene King, Epaphras 
King and John Bowker King in equal shares with the encum- 
brance of what I have given to my wife and also that my 
daughter-in-law Hannah Bowker have the priviledge of a com- 
fortable dwelling in the house where I now dwell so long as 
she shall live unmarried and also they paying the said Hannah 
ninety dollars in three equal payments at the end of one and

Commissions of Lieut. Eliphalet King. 



FOURTH GENERATION. I23 

Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, and thereafter was in the expe- 
dition of General Benedict Arnold against Quebec (Sept.-Dec, 
1775), for an official report thereof mentions Eliphalet King 
as one of "those who lost their guns." In that campaign Capt. 
Oliver Hanchet and one of his Lieutenants were taken prisoners 
by the British, his other Lieutenant was killed, and more than 
one-half of the members of their company were killed, wounded 
or taken prisoners. Eliphalet King however escaped with only 
the loss of his gun. 

On January i, 1776, the American Congress, composed of 
"Delegates of the United Colonies of New Hampshire, Massa- 
chusetts Bay, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania, the counties of Newcastle, Kent and Sussex on 
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro- 
lina" issued to "Eliphalet King, Gentleman," a commission as 
"Second Lieutenant of Captain {Ebenezer Huntington's Com- 
pany (Third Company) in the Twenty-second Regiment of 
Foot, Commanded by Colonel Samuel Wyllys, in the army of 
the United Colonies, raised for the defence of American Liberty, 
and for repelling every hostile invasion thereof." This com- 
mission was signed : "By Order of the Congress, John Hancock, 
President — Attest Chas Thomson, Secy. January the first 1776." 
(See protogravures of commissions on page facing this.) 

Lieutenant King was with his regiment before Boston when 
the British evacuated that city March 17, 1776, and in April, 
1776, he marched with his regiment, under General Washington, 
by the way of New London and the Sound, to New York 
City and assisted in fortifying that place. On the twenty-fourth 
day of August, 1776, he went with his command to the front 
at Brooklyn, and on the twenty-seventh of August, 1776, he 
was in the Battle of Long Island, where his regiment suffered 
severely. His conduct in this battle was such that shortly there- 
after, in September, 1776, he was promoted and made First 
Lieutenant of his company. On September first. 1776, he was 
with his regiment in its retreat from New York City, and after 
many minor engagements and skirmishes was on October twenty- 
eighth, 1776, in the Battle of White Plains. He thereafter re-

mained with his regiment in the vicinity of Peekskill under Gen'I 
Heath. 

The record of the military services of Eliphalet King, both as 
Ensign in the Second Regiment, Connecticut Line, and as Lieu- 
tenant in the Twenty-second Regiment of Foot, Continental 
Army, will be found in a book published by the State of Con- 
necticut, entitled "Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the 
War of the Revolution," "compiled by authority of the General 
Assembly under direction of the Adjutant General of Connecti- 
cut — Hartford, 1889," at pages 51, 92, 107 and 640. 

In the same book the record of Eliphalet King's first regiment, 
the "Second Connecticut Line," is given at page 45 thereof as 
follows : 

"Second Regiment — Gen. Spencer's — 1775." 
"[Regiment raised on first call for troops by the Legislature 
April-May 1775. Recruited mainly in present Middlesex Co. 
and Eastern part of the Colony. Marching to the camps around 
Boston, it took post at Roxbury and served during the siege 
imtil expiration of term of service, Dec. 1775. Detachments 
of officers and men engaged at the Battle of Bunker Hill June 
17 and in Arnold's Quebec Expedition Sept.-Dec. 1775. Adopted 
as Continental in July. The regiment was reorganized for 
service in 1776 under Col. Wyllys]" 

In addition to the foregoing, the names of the officers and 
men are given, and under "loth Company" at page 51 of the book 
appears the following: 

"Captain, Oliver Hanchett. of Suffield 
Lieutenant, Samuel Wright, of Suffield 

Lieutenant, Consider Williston 

Ensign, Eliphalet King, of Suffield" 

The record of the "22d Reg't of Foot, Continental Army," 
into which the 2d Connecticut was merged and in which Eliphalet 
King became at first a Second Lieutenant and was after the 
Battle of Long Island promoted to the First Lieutenancy, is 
also given very fully in the book, but the record of Eliphalet 
King in that regiment as we give it here is, we think, a sufficient 
statement as to the general movements of that regiment and 
the engagements in which it participated. 



FOURTH GENERATION. 1 25 

As an officer of the Twenty-second Regiment of Foot, Con- 
tinental Army, the record of Ehphalet King can also be found 
in "Historical Register of Officers of Continental Army During 
War of the Revolution," by F. B. Heitman, published at Wash- 
ington, D. C, 1893. The original commission of Eliphalet King 
as Ensign of the Second Connecticut Line, and also the original 
commission issued to him as Second Lieutenant in the Twenty- 
second Regiment of Foot, Continental Army, are now in the 
possession of Mr. Rufus James® King (Augustine,^ Lt. Eliphalet,^ 
Capt. Joseph,^ James,^ William^) of Dayton, Ohio, and both 
are carefully preserved in airtight glass-covered frames, together 
with a silhouette of Lieutenant Eliphalet King with his old- 
fashioned queue hanging down on his back. 

Though an officer, yet Lieut. Eliphalet King bore a gun as 
well as his sword. The gun he carried was captured from 
the British by him and, evidently for that reason, much prized. 
Perhaps he regarded it as a fair compensation for the gun he had 
lost to the British in the Arnold Expedition against Quebec. (See 
"Record Conn. Men War of Rev." p. 92.) The gun, carefully 
preserved by Mr. Rufus J. King of Dayton, Ohio, is an old 
English flint-lock musket, brass-mounted, and upon the lock- 
plate is stamped, "Vernon 1762." The musket has a silver plate 
on its stock with the following inscription : 

"THIS MUSKET 

Captured at the opening of the American Revolution 

from the British tyrant George the Third was borne 

and used in several battles by 

ELIPHALET KING 

of Suffield, Conn.. Ensign in the 2nd Regiment Conn. Colony 

Line and afterward Lieutenant in the 22nd Regiment 

of Foot and by him presented to his son, Augustine King, 

who presented it to his son, Capt. Edward A. King, 

of the 15th Reg't of Infantry U. S. Army, 

December 1847." 

Captain Edward A. King therein mentioned was a veteran 

officer of the Mexican War and afterward Colonel of the 6th 

Regt. of Infantry, U. S. Army, and also Colonel of the 68th 

Indiana Volunteers. He was in command of the Second Brigade, 



126 KING GENEALOGY. 

Reynolds Division, 14th Army Corps, when he was killed at 
the Battle of Chicamauga, Sept. 20, 1863. He was the brother 
of Mr. Rufus J. King, the present possessor of the gun. 

Lieutenant Eliphalet King had four brothers, Joseph, Thad- 
deus, Theodore and Ichabod, who served the American cause 
as soldiers in the War of the Revolution. His youngest brother, 
Ichabod, thirteen years his junior, served as a private soldier 
in the loth company of the 2nd Conn. Regt., of which Eliphalet 
was Ensign, and again as a private in the 3d company of the 
22nd Regt. of Foot, Continental Army, of which Eliphalet was 
Lieutenant. 

Mary Remington, the first wife of Eliphalet King, was the 
daughter of Jonathan* (Jonathan,^ Thomas,- John^) and Thank- 
ful (Warner) Remington. She was born at Suffield July 12. 
1743. Her great-great-grandfather, John Remington, and his 
wife, Elizabeth, came from Yorkshire, England, to Newbury, 
Mass., in 1637 and in 1643 removed to Rowley, where he was 
commissioned Lieutenant of a military company at that place. 
Subsequently Lieut. John Remington moved to Roxbury and 
in 1658 reconstructed the meeting house there. Thomas Rem- 
ington, the great-grandfather of Mrs. Eliphalet King, was one 
of the original proprietors of Sufifield, where as early as 1674 
he had a grant of 60 acres of land on what is now called 
Feather street. Mary (Remington) King, wife of Lieutenant 
Eliphalet King, died at Suffield June 24, 1788, and was buried 
there. The tombstone over her grave bears the following quaint 
epitaph : 

"In memory of 

Mrs. Mary, Wife of 

Lt. Eliphalet King 

who died June 24, 1788 

in the 45th year 

of her age. 

Life is Uncertain 

Death is sure 
Sin is the Wound 

And Christ the Cure" 



FOURTH GENERATION. 1 2/ 

Lieut. Eliphalet King was thus left a widower with a large 
family of very young children, and he married again October 2, 
1788, Silence Rumriil, who died Oct. 16, 1839, aged 71 years. 

For some time before his death Lieut. King resided at West 
Springfield, Mass. In the book above cited, ''Record of Ser-vice 
of Conn. Men in War of Rev." (p. 640), in the "list of those 
drawing pensions under the Congressional Act of 1818 and resid- 
ing in Massachu?etts" appears "Eliphalet King (rank) Lieu- 
tenant." He died at West Springfield, Mass., August 29, 1821, 
after a long and painful illness in which he suffered greatly. 
The following is a copy of a letter written by his son, Elijah 
King, to Ichabod King, brother of Eliphalet, living then at 
Marlboro, Vermont : 

"West Springfield August 31, 1821 
Dear Uncle : I have the melancholy task of informing you of 
the death of my Father, Eliphalet King. He died on Tuesday 
morning the 29th of August of the greatest bodily sufferings 
that a man could endure. He had been confined to his bed 
for about four months and had not walked a step since last 
Sept. Uncle Theodore is very low — is quite deranged in his 
mind. Aunt Hannah is almost helpless. The rest of your friends 
here are in tolerable health. 

My respects to you and yours. 

Elijah King" , 

Lieutenant Eliphalet King had nine children by his first wife 
and seven by his second wife, thus blessing the world with six- 
teen children, most of whom lived to ripe old age and left numer- 
ous descendants. They were all born in Suffield.

IcHABOD* King {Capt. Joseph;-' James,- William'), born in 
Suffield, Conn., May 14, 1756; died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 18. 
1834; married in Marlboro, Vt , Dec. 27, 1778, Lovisa Adams, 
daughter of Freegrace and Anna (Kent) Adams, born in Suf- 
field Dec. 20, 1759; died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 31, 1834. Her 
father was the son of Lieut. Abraham and Joanna (Norton) 
Adams. Her mother was the daughter of Samuel and Abiah 
(Dwight) Kent, all of Suffield. 

Ichabod King was born two months after the death of his 
father, Capt. Joseph King. The widow, in her bereavement and 
desolation, christened this child Ichabod. "the Glory has departed" 
(i Samuel ch. iv ver. 21) in memory of her husband. Ichabod 
was a Revolutionary Soldier. Although then barely nineteen 
years of age he enlisted as a private in a company of the Second 
Connecticut Regiment, of which his brother, Eliphalet King, 
was Ensign, and when that regiment was mustered out in 
Dec, 1775, he again enlisted in a company of the Twenty-Second 
Regiment of Foot, Continental Army, of which his brother, 
Eliphalet King, had been commissioned Lieutenant. He fought 
side by side with his brother Eliphalet at Bunker Hill, in the 
disastrous expedition against Quebec, at the battle of Long 
Island, at White Plains and in many other minor engagements. 

The following is a copy of a paper which is still in the posses- 
sion of his descendants : 

"West Springfield April 25, 1818. 

"This may certify that Ichabod King of Marlborough, State of 



FOURTH GENERATION. 



^?,7 



Vermont, served seven months in the Revohition war in the ycor 
1775 in a Regiment raised by the State of Connecticut. 

"Also one year and one month beginning the first of December 
one thousand seven hundred and seventy five until the first day 
of January one thousand seven hundred seventy seven in the 
Twenty Second Regiment of the Continental Army Commanded 
])y Colonel Samuel Wyllys in the third Company in said Regiment 
Commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Huntington in which I serv'd 
as Lieut. Eliphalet King." 

At one time the British captured a bridge from the patriot 
forces with which Ichabod was serving. Ichabod was sick at the 
time and would have been taken prisoner but for assistance 
that came barely in time to help him across the bridge. His 
military record will be found in "Record of Service of Connecti- 
cut Men in the War of the Revolution," compiled by authority 
of the Adjutant-General of Connecticut. Hartford, 1889. (pp. 
45, 51,92, 107 and 639.) 

A manuscript history of Marlboro (first spelled Marlborough), 
Vermont, written by Rev. Ephraim Newton, about 1865, now 
kept in the Vermont Historical Society Lil^'ary. Montpelier. 
states that "Ichabod King came from his native place, Suffield, 
Conn., to Marlboro in 1776. a young man about twenty, and 
purchased his farm of Samuel Newton of Marlboro in the 
county of Cumberland on the New Hampshire Grants, late under 
the jurisdiction of New York, April ist, 1877, on which he 
settled, lived and died and which descended to his son Joseph. 
He served his country about two years in the American Revo- 
lution, and in his last days was placed upon the roll of pen- 
sioners." 

There were 160 acres in the Marlboro farm, and it is inters 
sected by a public road running north and south. In 1880, 
Ichabod's son Joseph sold the part lying west of the highway, 
but the part to the east is still in the possession of a descendant. 
It was on the east side of the road, back on a rise of land an 
eighth of a mile from the highway, near a spring, that the first 
house stood, — the one in which all Ichabod and Lovisa's children 
were born. When the youngest child was but a baby in arms 



138 KING GENEALOGY. 

the family moved into the new house which had been built 
just on the west side of the road. This new house, now a 
trifle over a century old, is still standing. In design it is a 
typical New England country house of its time. A story and 
a half in height ; two large front rooms separated by a square 
front entry and the huge chimney ; back of the front rooms 
the long kitchen (this one with its western windows giving a 
wide view down a long slope and out beyond over miles of 
Marlboro hills), a pantry, a bed-room, and a stairway to the 
second story ; all under the main roof. At one time the house 
sheltered the owner, a dignified man approaching his end ; his 
wife, paralyzed toward the last ; a daughter and a son in frail 
health for over forty years ; a widowed daughter and two of her 
children ; the son Joseph and his wife and children. It could not 
have been in the years of much sickness that Lovisa (Adams) 
King purchased her red broadcloth cloak, lined with pink silk, 
many pieces of which are now in the possession of her descend- 
ants. It may have been first owned when her husband repre- 
sented the town of Marlboro in the Vermont legislature. Though 
the exceptionally long years of family illness must have told on 
the resources of a Vermont hill town farm, nevertheless the 
acres and the work, the men and the women, did their part, and 
Ichabod King's gravestone — in the graveyard a mile to the 
south of the farm — advises us for him that, 

"Had I a voice so loud and strong, 

To sound from east to west, 
I'd tell the honor seeking throng. 

To be with Christ is best." 

The family was one of far more than ordinary refinement, 
character, and mental ability. Nor was it ill to look upon 
physically. It was religious, yet at least the children were not 
at all narrowly so. Ichabod King was a dignified, thoughtful, 
and somewhat reserved man ; a town selectman, and the repre- 
sentative of the town of Marlboro in the Vermont legislature 
of 1798 and again in 1800. His marriage to Lovisa Adams 
"was the first marriage solemnized by the late Rev. Gersham C. 
Lyman, D. D., and is the first public record of a marriage in

town." (Marlboro Hist.) They lived together before death 
parted them within nine days of fifty-six years and only thirteen 
days intervened between the days of their death. All his married 
life was spent on his farm and all his children were born at 
Marlboro.

completed the transcription with an index in an admirable man-

are indebted for a reference to the location of the family at 
Ugborough, Devonshire, England, before the immigration of our

MiCAii'^ King (Benjamin* Benjamin,^ James,- William^), born

Micah King was living in Enfield in 1777 when he was surety on 
the bond of his brother Obadiah, Administrator, in settling their 
father's estate. He was a resident of East Longmeadow for sev- 
eral years. He appears on poll-tax lists in that town from 1789 
to 1795. The tax lists for 1796 are missing but he was living 
there at that time for he was that year paid by the town for 
work as a joiner on Longmeadow school buildings. Nov. 1, 
[798, he bought land in Norwich (now Pluntington ) , Mass. He 
was then said to be "of Norwich" so he had probably lived there 
some months at least. This land and buildings he sold Nov. 29, 
1814, when he was still "of Norwich, Mass." This deed is signed 
by Micah King and "Sarah King his wife" and witnessed by 
Phineas King. This is the last mention of him in the records of 
Norwich, now Huntington, Mass. The most persistent search 
has failed to reveal the date of his marriage and of his children's 
births, though their names are given. Nothing is known of his 
last days nor is anything known of his wife except what is 
given above.

couple who with five children moved to Manchester, N. Y., in 



FIFTH GENERATION. 155 

1802, at which place there was afterwards born to them two 
more children. Mr. King settled about two miles west of 
Clifton Springs, N. Y., on the old State road. After a time 
many of their old neighbors came from Suffield, Conn., and 
settled there also, among whom were the Deweys, Redfields, 
Grangers (Hezekiah Granger was the step-father of Stephen A. 
Douglas), and Bements. Joshua Kendall King was a very enter- 
prising man and took great interest in all public improvements; 
building bridges, improving roads and erecting churches and 
schools. In course of time it became necessary for the con- 
venience of travelers on the stage coaches and emigrant wagons 
to have stopping places with more and better conveniences. Mr. 
King, to accommodate these, threw open his house with the 
modest sign "King's Inn," which old sign still remains as a 
relic of pioneer days, the old homestead and farm being still 
in possession of his descendants. He did not accumulate a great 
amount of worldly goods but left an unsullied name and a 
record for business enterprise, probity and useful citizenship 
of which his descendants may justly feel proud.

Rogers King (Lt. Eliphalet* Capt. Joseph," James,- William^), 
born at Suffield, Conn., Jany. 16, 1771 ; died in Jonesville, Sara- 
toga Co., N. Y., Aug. 15, 1855; married (i) in Suffield Feb. 4, 
1795, Anna Granger, born May 8, 1771, died Feb. 12, 1812, who 
was a niece of Gideon Granger, Postmaster-General in President 
Jefferson's Cabinet; (2) in Troy, N. Y., July 23, 1812, Christina 
Auringer, born in Troy June 8, 1785, died Feb. 9, 1872, a lineal 
descendant of Roeloff and Annetje Jans, who came to Rens- 
selaerwyck from Holland in 1630 and settled first at Beaverwyck, 
now Albany, N. Y., but subsequently at New Amsterdam. 
Roeloff and Annetje Jans have a permanent place in the colonial 
history of New York State by reason of their early connection 
with its first settlement as a colony under the auspices of the 
Dutch Government. Numerous references to them are found in 
the histories of New Netherland, and of the Cities of New York 
and Albany. Their names also appear freqeuntly in the early 
colonial documents preserved in the Archives of the State of 
New York and which have been compiled and published by 
authority of the Legislature of that State : "Documentary History 
of the State of New York" (4 vols.), "Documents Relative to 
the Colonial History of the State of New York" (11 vols.). 
The name of Annetje Jans is especially familiar to the New 
York public by reason of its connection with the celebrated 
legal contests between some of her descendants and the cor- 
poration of Trinity Church in the City of New York for the 
possession of real estate which was her's at the time of her 
decease in 1663. A few years after her decease some, but not 
all, of her heirs joined in a conveyance of the land in question 
to Col. Lovelace, who was then Governor of the Province. Sub- 
sequently it was confiscated by Queen Anne who, in 1703, pre- 
sented it to the church. 

Roger King removed from Suffield to Troy, N. Y., in 1794. 
It was then a small village known as Vanderheyden, which 
was the name of the Patroon on whose lands it was located. 
Mr. Roger King was one of a considerable number of New 
England men, mostly from Connecticut, who came there about 



158 KING GENEALOGY. 

that time and by their energetic efforts and enterprise in the 
next few years built up a city of considerable importance. 

In May, 1812, he was commissioned by Daniel D. Tompkins, 
Governor of the State of New York, as "Lieutenant in com- 
mand of a company of Light Infantry in the Regiment of 
Militia in the County of Rensselaer, whereof Adam Yates, 
Esquire, is Lieutenant Colonel Commandant." 

The Regiment was called into active service in the War of 
1812, and ordered to proceed to Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain; 
but, hostilities in that region having ceased, it was not present 
in any engagements. Lieutenant Roger King, however, promptly 
responded to his country's call with his company. 

In 1820 almost the entire business portion of Troy was 
destroyed by fire and its recuperation seemed doubtful. Mr. 
King, therefore, purchased a farm at Jonesville, Saratoga County, 
N. Y., and with his family removed to it. 

His doing so produced one important result. There was at 
that time nowhere in the vicinity any school of a higher grade 
than the district school, which was very elementary in its char- 
acter. The younger ones of his children, five in number, having 
acquired all of the education which it could supply, their further 
education could be accomplished only by sending all of them from 
home to some distant institution, unless some plan could be de- 
vised for obviating that necessity. Such a plan (with the efficient 
aid of his wife), he devised and successfully carried out. 

Competent teachers were employed, and a school was opened 
in the family homestead for the children of the family and such 
other day scholars as might desire to attend. The school was a 
success from the outset, the attendance being unexpectedly large. 
This result was so gratifying that, after a year's experience, he 
decided to enlarge upon his original plan and establish on the 
premises a Select School for a limited number of boarders in 
addition to day scholars, the family homestead, with some small 
additions, being sufficiently capacious to accommodate a good 
number. He then erected a separate building for class rooms 
and, without advertising, printed and sent to families of his 
acquaintance, chiefly in Troy, circulars announcing the opening 
of such a school. 



FIFTH GENERATION. 



159 



Applications for admission were promptly received in numbers 
sufficient to fully occupy all the available apartments, and soon 
there were forty residents in the old homestead. The success 
and value of the school was so evident that he determined to 
establish a permanent institution on a larger scale. Accordingly 
he purchased a tract of thirteen acres of land in a central loca- 
tion and proceeded to erect upon it a building of ample dimen- 
sions, adapted to the purposes for which it was designed. 

When completed the school was transferred to its new and 
improved location and a Principal and adequate Faculty secured. 
Subsequently two large additional dormitories were erected on 
the grounds and the school was incorporated as the Jonesville 
Academv. 

It met with remarkable success and in a brief space of time 
became a prominent educational institution. It soon numbered 
over a hundred and fifty students, including quite a number 
from other States. 

Among its graduates were many who afterwards attained 
prominence in the professions of law and medicine, as well as 
in other pursuits, while one became a United States Senator. 

As an important factor in the early history of Troy, N. Y., as 
an officer in the Army ready to serve in the defense of his coun- 
try, and as the founder of an important educational institution, 
Mr. Roger King was a bright example of energy, patriotism 
and public spirit.

in New Ipswich Sept. 6, 1863, daughter of Dr. John'' Preston, 
(Samuel,* Samuel.^ Samuel,- Roger,"^ who came from England 
in the ship Elizabeth in April, 1635, and settled at Ipswich, 
Mass.). Dr. John Preston married at New Ipswich Nov. 29, 
1764, Rebecca^ daughter of Deacon SamueP Farrar, (George,^ 
Jacob,- Jacob,^ of Lancaster, Mass., 1653-1675) and Lydia 
(Barret) Farrar, born Aug. 13, 1743, died April i, 1829, of 
Concord, Mass. Mrs. Rebecca (Farrar) Preston was the sister 
of Rev. Stephen Farrar, the minister of New Ipswich from Oct. 
21, 1760, until his decease, June 23, 1809, and of Hon. Timothy 
Farrar who was at one time a partner of Daniel Webster ; 
afterward for forty years a judge of the courts of New Hamp- 
shire, appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that 
State and died at the age of over one hundred and one years, 
having been for some time before his death the oldest living 
graduate of Harvard College. Dr. John Preston built in 1764 
the house in which Mrs. Seth King was born and which passed 
into the hands of Major Seth King and was occupied by him 
until his death in 1851 and then descended to his children. The 
house is still standing and is one of the finest residences in New 
Ipswich. Mrs. Seth King died Sept. 6, 1863, at the age of 
seventy-nine years. She was born, married and died in the 
same house, having also lived therein during her entire lifetime. 
(See cut of house facing this page.) 

In 1800 Seth"' King removed from Suffield and settled at 
New Ipswich, Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire, a town 
founded in 1738. He became one of the distinguished men of 
the State of New Hampshire. He was a Major of the Militia, 
often represented New Ipswich in the State Legislature (1834- 
5-7) and frequently appears as Moderator of the town meet- 
ings. He was the first in this country to manufacture friction 
matches and also the first manufacturer of broad-cloth in the 
United States. Later he had a hat factory. All his children 
were born at New Ipswich, N. H.

Dayton, O. In the year 1828 his daughter Caroline married 
James Greer and Augustine King formed a partnership with 
Mr. Greer under the firm name of Greer & King, for the manu-

Artemas^ King, {Theodore* Capt. Joseph,^ James- Wil-

March 14, 1881 ; married in Suffield Jany. 12, 1825, Sophia 
Granger, daughter of Roderick Granger, born Aug. 13, 1802; 
died Jany. 6, 1864. Their children were born in Suffield. Ar- 
temas King was an active and prominent man in the town of 
Suffield. He was highly respected and a man of superior 
intelligence and judgment, always holding some important town 
office until he had passed the age of seventy years. He was 
consulted in all important affairs of the town and frequently 
people from adjoining towns sought his advice. In his early 
days he was captain of the militia or "Old Guard" and for many 
years Justice of the Peace. . In 1868, when he was sixty-nine 
years of age, he notified the town that owing to the approach- 
ing age limit of seventy years they must not elect him to that 
office again as he would not serve longer in that capacity. They 
then elected him Representative and he served two terms in the 
legislature at New Haven and Hartford, Conn. Artemas King 
and his brother Theodore inherited a large tract of land from 
their father who was the largest landowner in Suffield. They 
afterwards purchased the Harmon farm of many acres adjoin- 
ing their tract. Theodore died in 1857 leaving his share to 
Horace A. King, the eldest son of Artemas. After the death of 
Horace A. King, in 1869, /\rtemas King purchased the estate 
from the heirs and became sole owner, and on his death left 
the property to his children. About two years after the death 
of Artemas King the old homestead burned, destroying many 
valuable records and relics among which was the gun used by 
his father in the Revolutionary War.

Where pain and sickness come no more." 
After her forty years of suffering on earth we think the poet 
could safely have substituted in the third line of the epitaph 
some more positive expression for "we hope."

JujsTiN" King, {Ichabod* Capt. Joseph,^ James/ JVilliam^), 
born in Marlboro, Vt., March 7, 1784; died in Cincinnati, O., 
March 20, 1852; married (i) in Boston, Mass., Sept. 2, 1810, 
Ann (Cook) Morse, who died in Cincinnati, O., Nov. 5, 1819; 
(2) in Cincinnati, O., 1820, Ann who died in Cin- 
cinnati, O., Aug. 9, 1833; (3) in Cincinnati, O., Aug. 2, 1835, 
Elizabeth Hunt. It is probable that the first wife of Justin 
King was the widow of Eleazer Morse at the time of her mar- 
riage to Justin King. It is known from Justin King's letters 
and the knowledge of descendants that she was Ann, the sister 
of Alice (Cook) Berry, for years of Wheeling, W. Va., who 
was probably daughter of Richard and Mary (Moshier) Cook 
■ — Richard a ropemaker in Boston, but the family home perhaps 
in Roxbury. It is further known that Charles Cook King, son 
of Justin King by his first wife, named two of his sons for 
John Morse and George Eleazer Morse who were probably his 
half-brothers. In "Records rel. to early hist, of Boston," con- 
taining Boston marriages from 1752 to 1809 is the following: 
"Eleazar Morse & Anna Cook (married by). Rev. Thomas Bald- 
win Nov. 26, 1801. (Intention of marriage reads Ann Cook.) 
Deaths in Boston from 1800 to 1810 taken from "Columbian 
Centinel" gives the death of Eleazer Morse, age 31, on March 
9, 1810. Boston record gives marriage of Justin King to Ann 
Morse Sept. 2, 1810. On Feb. 3, 181 1, Justin King wrote from 
Boston to his parents of the visit to them which he and his 
wife had just made, evidently a first visit on the part of the

wife. Justin King went to Boston to live about 1805 but re- 
moved to Cincinnati, O., in 181 5, where he lived until his death. 
The family drove from Boston to Cincinnati in forty-one days 
with one horse which served them excellently. They left Boston 
Sept. 4, 1815; stopped at Sufifield, Conn., where they found 
"Aunt King very sick" ; went through Wheeling, Janesville and 
Chilicothe and reached Cincinnati Oct. 14, 1815. Elizabeth 
Hunt, the third wife of Justin King, was a widow and, he writes, 
"half-niece of my first wife."

Rufus Caldwell, son of John and Elizabeth (Swan) Caldwell, 
born in West Northfield, Mass., Oct. 15, 1797; died in West 
Northfield, Jany. 17, 1849. Mr. Rufus Caldwell was a farmer. 

When Lucinda King Caldwell married, in the old Marlboro 
church, she went to a fertile farm stretching back from the 
Connecticut River, in the beautiful town of Northfield, Mass. 
Her husband had been born on that farm, and all their happy 
married life of almost twenty-one years, and her widowed life 
of forty years were spent there. 

Some one said that no one who inherited from Lucinda King 
Caldwell could be worthless. She loved poetry, the stars. Nature, 
people. She came into personal relations with them. Her nature 
was exceedingly sympathetic, so that her children said she could 
never have lived happily in a city, with its constant sights of 
want. She was a member of the Congregational Church, the 
church of most of her people. But the Universalist faith of her 
husband, the Roman Catholic faith of a friend, and the un- 
churched of her acquaintance were never outside her under- 
standing. She recognized a right spirit ; or if that, or a right 
life, were lacking, she loved the great humanity in all her 
Father's creatures. As the close of her ninety years came, she 
looked forward eagerly to the opening world, though this one 
had been exquisitely beautiful to her. The last night she gave 
clinging kisses to her daughter, craved them in return ; and then 
fared onward gladly. 

The following letter was written to her by her future husband 
the month before their marriage. It is given exactly. In a few 
cases, as will be seen, the paper has been slightly injured: 

Northfield Dec. 6th 1827

repose could have any force, you are enjoying all the comforts

thoughts ever fixed on you, to Hve in perpetual fear of every 
accident to which human life is liable, and to send up my ejacula- 
tions to avert them from you, is what I do for her who is 
worthy of more than I can bestow. With a heart full of grati- 
tude I devote my secret prayr to God, for prospering me thus 
far in obtaining my greatest Earthly object; Who in the time of 
trouble and adversity, which is incident to human life ; will 
afford soothing consolation. The sentiment expressed in yours 
of the 20th (paper marred) last, evinces a noble & elevated mind, 
a heart devoted (paper marred) which is a shure way to enjoy 
life agreeable to our own conscience, that monitor within that 
tells the good from the bad ; & the only way to inshure a 
goodly inheritance in the life to come.

Christianity, and gide your steps in the strictest path of virtue

Rufus King Caldwell (called by his second 
name), like his father before him, always 
lived on the West Northfield farm which his 
grandfather had bought in 1795. This he kept 
and left "one of the most productive and well- 
tilled farms of the town." "He was a most active 
and useful citizen of the town, having served it 
in many capacities. He was for many years dep- 
uty sheriff, having wide acquaintance throughout 
the county. He served the town several years as

tax collector, performing these duties in a prompt, 
efficient manner. He was well versed in law and 
his opinion was frequently sought by his towns- 
men upon matters pertaining to business, he hav- 
ing settled many estates." A later selectman said 
of him, that in going over some of Mr. Caldwell's 
accounts, he was ''surprised not only at the accu- 
racy of them, but the conscientious, faithful way 
in which he had used the money for the public 
good." And that in town meetings, "Mr. Caldwell 
had never hesitated to stanchly advocate a measure 
he thought for the best good of the town, even 
though he knew it would not win popular favor 
for him." At his death the thought was reiterated 
that, "Men of this stamp are what have given 
strength to the New England towns in the past, 
and it is to the coming men of this character to 
whom we must look for the preservation of our 
New England institutions." Both of his children 
were born at West Northfield, Mass.

Dwight Solomon Priest, b. West Northfield, Mass., 
Aug. 28, 1832, son of Nathan and Mary (Gunn) 
Priest. They lived in Northfield, Mass., and South 
Vernon, Vt., until 1881, when they moved to 
Shenandoah, Iowa, where they owned consider- 
able land since 1869. In the East he was inter- 
ested in various lines of business : — in farming, 
manufacturing, buying hops in Northern New 
England and selling in New York City, a store 
and a hotel. In the West he has farming land 
and town lots. 

Susan Mandana Caldwell Priest had the most 
beautiful personality that some near her have ever 
known. She had the truest, tenderest soul, 
matched with a strong mind. Her interests and 
keen sympathies were world-wide. Spiritual, in- 
tellectual, steadfast to duty, warmly interested in 
life, simple and natural. "But to pass her on the 
street was to be incited to greater goodness." A 
teacher before her marriage, in after life she 
never passed a school building without wishing to 
enter. She was a trustee of the Shenandoah Con- 
gregational Church, the beloved president of the 
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and a life- 
long advocate of woman suffrage, a belief in which 
others of her family and relatives warmly joined.

trials which came early in life with unsurpassed 
courage. She possessed a tenderness, a keen sense 
of humor, and an unconquerable youthfulness of 
spirit which was inspiring. While her time was 
too fully occupied with her duties as a mother and 
a teacher (which latter position she filled for more 
than thirty years) to allow of active work in the 
various reforms of her day, her sympathies were 
keenly with them. She was a graduate of the 
Charlotteville, New York, Seminary, and taught 
for a few of the troubled months before the war 
in a Mississippi family. Two months before the 
birth of their son, her husband, but twenty-eight 
years of age and unusually attractive, was killed 
by falling into an insufficiently protected excava- 
tion in Philadelphia while on his way from ex- 
hibiting the secret cipher, which he had invented, 
to a foreign minister of state. Afterward she 
taught school, chiefly in New- Haven, Conn. It 
was a profession that she loved ; as she loved trav- 
eling. She went abroad three times, in fulfillment 
of her childhood dreams.

born in Enfield May 16, 1779. 

On March 11, 1806, he was still in Enfield for the selectmen 
paid him a bill of $4.30 on that date. It seems he moved to Belcher- 
town, Mass. It is said he married and had a son named Judson 
King and other children, but his brother Eli King had a son named 
Judson King and other children, so perhaps this rumor referred 
to Eli.

previously located as blacksmith in the little village of Deposit 
ten miles further south but a flood drove them to the hill coun- 
try. On this farm his large family grew to manhood and woman- 
hood. His son Addison King and wife Sylva Jane (Andrews) 
succeeded him, raising their three sons and four daughters on the 
same farm and today (1907) Andrew Henry King, one of the 
sons of Addison King, occupies the old home with his wife and 
two little sons. The place is called "Kings Hill."

Button, daughter of Jonathan and AHce (Parsons) Button, born 
March 20, 1794, died March 3, 1843; (2) March 20, 1844, 
Roxalany (Thompson) Chapin, widow, born Jany. 3, 1807; died 
March 12, 1878. Capt. King lived in the small village of Scitico, 
in the town of Enfield, where he carried on a prosperous plow 
manufacturing business for many years with trade largely in 
the Southern States. He also had a forge business and owned 
the tavern in the village. Scitico had no postoffice until the 
needs of his business required the establishment of one there in 
1 84 1 and Capt. King was appointed the postmaster. It is an 
interesting fact that the office of postmaster in this village has 
ever since then been held by some member of the family con- 
tinuously until in 1906 the chain of succession was broken by 
death. His widow, Mrs. Roxalany King, married James L. 
Prosser, a wealthy and benevolent citizen of West Hartford, 
Conn. The children of Capt. King were born in the town of 
Enfield.

in Ellington Nov. 15, 1821, Esther Ward, born July 15, 1795, who 
died in Kingsville, O., Aug. 10, 1878. He had one child by the 
first and nine children by the second marriage all of whom were 
horn in Ellington, Conn., except the three youngest who were 
born at Kingsville, Ohio. Mr. King went to Ohio in 1832 and 
settled where Kingsville now stands. He was a blacksmith by 
trade, but before leaving Connecticut he was extensively engaged 
in the manufacture of plows which he sold in Norfolk, Va. 
After going to Ohio he became a farmer and struggled hard to 
accumulate a competence in the first years of his life there, but 
when the Lake Shore Railroad came to that part of the country 
he sold one half of his land and invested the proceeds in that 
railroad enterprise. It was a most fortunate speculation and 
money came to him easily thereafter so that before his death he 
was in excellent financial circumstances. He was ever an honest, 
conscientious and philanthropic man. He was a member of the 
Presbyterian Church, but his wife Esther Ward King and her 
children belonged to the Baptist Church and he often accom- 
panied them there.

Bugbee, born Aug. 14, 1802; died Dec. 12, 1862. 

At the time of his marriage he was bookkeeper for a factory 
in Chicopee, Mass., where his eldest son was born. He there- 
after entered business for himself at Wentworth, N. H., but 
failed and moved to Thompsonville, a suburb of Enfield, Conn. 
About 1833 he moved to Hartford, Conn., and entered the em- 
ployment of the Aetna Fire Insurance Company almost at the 
starting of that company and when he was the only bookkeeper. 
He remained actively with that company for over forty years and 
was practically with it until his death, though on account of his 
great age he was relieved of all work and retired on a pension 
during the last few years of his life. His son William Henry 
King is now secretary of the company and has been with it for 
about forty years.

Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1820, while visiting at the house of her 
uncle. Judge Erastus Granger. When quite young she developed 
a taste and aptitude for art. A short time before her decease, in 
1820, she painted in water colors a sketch of the Tibbit's mansion 
and grounds, located in what was then one of the outskirts of 
Troy, N. Y., but is now near its center. The mansion which 
was of imposing dimensions remains unchanged and it and the

at the Emma Willard Seminary, at Troy, N. Y. 

On October 16, 1849, she married Elizur Hart, of Albion, N.

well known in financial circles elsewhere. She was his second wife.

subsequently was a member of Congress, and two daughters. 

Cornelia A. (King) Hart was for many years prominent and 
active in society and in church affairs, especially in the Mission 
work of the church. With strong convictions and hearty earnest- 
ness she fulfilled all the duties which she accepted. 

Naturally beneficent and generous, she helped many needy 
persons in a quiet and unostentatious way. She was greatly es-

ances, and enjoyed to the last the devoted affection of all who 
were related to, or connected with her. No issue.

Harvey James ''King, (Roger, ^ Lt. Eliphalet,* Capt. Joseph,^ 
James,- William^), born in Jonesville, N. Y., July i6, 1824; 
married May 6, 1851, Ellen B. L. Bayeux, daughter of John H. 
and Sarah A. M. (Vanderheyden,^ Jacob D. Vanderheyden,^ 
Dirk Vanderheyden,* Jacob Vanderheyden,^ Dirk Vanderheyden,- 
Jacob Tysse Vanderheyden,^ born in Holland, 1620; died Albany, 
N. Y., 1691) Bayeux, born Oct. 11, 1826; died Aug. 12, 1900. 
Her grandfather Jacob D. Vanderheyden was known as the 
Patroon of Troy, N. Y., and was once owner of a large and most 
important part of the present site of that city. In 1787 the 
present city of Troy, N. Y., was settled on the Vanderheyden 
estate and the village was then called Vanderheyden, but later 
changed to Troy. Roger King, the father of Harvey James 
King came in 1794 to Troy, then a small but thriving village, and 
remained there until 1820, when he removed to Jonesville, N. Y., 
where on July 16, 1824, Harvey James King was born, Mr. 
Harvey James King was prepared for college at the Jonesville 
Academy. He was graduated at Union College in 1848 with 
the two highest honors, ranking among the first of a class ninety- 
eight in number, seventy-nine of whom won the degree of A. B. 
In 1 85 1 he received the degree of A. M. Immediately upon 
leaving college he went to Troy to complete his law studies and 
thenceforth made that city his home. He was admitted to the 
Bar and commenced the practice of law in 1850, becoming the 



246 



KING GENEALOGY. 



law partner of Mr. Raymond, a connection which at once intro- 
duced him into a large and responsible law practice. In 1853, 
Mr. Raymond retired from practice and Mr. King formed a 
partnership with John A. Millard, which continued until the 
death of that gentleman in 1869. In 1854 Mr. King was ap- 
pointed city attorney which office he filled for the full term. In 
1867, the United States Bankruptcy Law having been enacted 
he was nominated by Chief Justice Chase and appointed U. S. 
Register in Bankruptcy for the Congressional District embracing 
Rensselaer and Washington Counties, N. Y., and held that re- 
sponsible position for the ensuing twelve years and until the 
repeal of the law. In 1871 he was elected as an Alumni Trustee 
of Union College and was re-elected at the close of his first 
term. He was for several years President of Union College 
Alumni Association, of Northern New York. He is and has been 
since 1865 a trustee and for several years past Vice-President and 
an active supporter of the Troy Orphan Asylum and has given 
much time and effort to promoting the interests of that institu- 
tion, the oldest and one of the most valuable charities in Troy. 
He has also for many years been a Trustee of the Troy 
Academy. 

Mr. Harvey J. King being originally a Whig in politics and 
a pronounced anti-slavery man, was from the outset ardently 
attached to the Seward wing of the party and early became an 
active and zealous participant in the political movements of the 
country, often representing his district in the State conventions. 
When the dissolution of the Whig party became imminent by 
reason of irreconcilable division on the subject of Slavery, he 
was chairman of the City Central Committee and was one of 
three prominent members of the party in Troy who published 
the call for a meeting of all who were in favor of "free speech, 
free soil and free men" for the purpose of re-organizing as 
Republicans. The meeting was held and the new organization 
promptly effected. From that time for twenty years he was one 
of the most active members of the Republican Central Committee 
of Rensselaer County and also for a time member of the State 
Central Committee and on its Executive Committee. Mr. King 



SIXTH GENERATION. 247 

frequently declined solicitations to accept office but his activity 
in the political organization and his familiar acquaintance with 
many of the eminent men of his party gave him an extensive 
political influence. 

At the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1861 he was among the 
foremost in the matter of procuring enlistment and filling the 
local regiments and until the close of the war did all in his 
power for the cause of freedom and the preservation of the 
Union. 

As a consequence of his undeviating course when the Draft 
Riot occurred in 1863 his house was one of those designated 
in advance for destruction by the mob, which sacked the office 
and the entire establishment of the Troy Daily Times, and de- 
stroyed the furniture and nearly demolished the residence of 
Hon. Martin L Townsend. who was his near neighbor. 

Warning of this intention having reached Mr. King, his family 
was sent out of the city for safety ; but he with large numbers of 
other loyal citizens remained on the ground. The late arrival 
of a military force on the scene caused the mob to disperse 
before their design could be accomplished. 

During the last two years of the war Mr. King was actively 
connected with the work of the United States Christian Commis- 
sion, an organization with branches in all the loyal States, 
having for its object the relief of sick and wounded soldiers. 
As Chairman of the Troy Branch, Mr. King devoted much time 
and labor to this cause. 

In this connection the following incident may not be without 
interest. Just before the surrender of General Lee, a convention 
of the officers of the several branches of the Christian Commis- 
sion was in session at Washington, and a reception was given 
them at the White House by President Lincoln. At the close of 
the reception, and while the guests were departing, Mr. King, 
with whom he was conversing, was invited by the President to 
go with him to his private office. During the conference which 
ensued Mr. King said : "Mr. President, it seems to be pretty 
certain that the war is nearly at an end, and that you may soon 
have the rest which vou so much need." With the sad, wearv 



248 



KING GENEALOGY. 



look which had then become so noticeable, President Lincoln 
replied: "Yes, I think that the war is nearly at an end, but I 
see no prospect of rest for me. There will be very much for 
me to do after the war is ended." Within a few weeks thereafter 
an assassin's bullet brought to the martyr President eternal rest. 

Mr. King has been for many years one of the most prominent, 
active and public-spirited citizens of Troy. As a lawyer he has 
always held an excellent rank and commanded a large patronage. 
His legal learning, his sound judgment and his long and varied 
experience have peculiarly fitted him as an adviser and his 
services as a counselor have always been in especial request. In 
the midst of a most busy professional life and of exacting pub- 
lic duties he has always found time for personal culture and has 
added to his excellent youthful education the wisdom and graces 
of an extensive reading. Genealogy became with him a con- 
genial recreation and he compiled a history of his own and the 
New York Branches of the King Family of Suffield, Connecticut. 
The author of the present Genealogy is indebted to Mr. Harvey 
J. King for a critical review of the introductory chapters and 
the first five generations of this work and for his excellent advice 
and judgment as well as constant aid and kindly assistance. 
At the present time his son, Edwin Arthur King, Esq., is in 
partnership with him in the practice of the law, under the firm 
name of King & King. 

[Note — The foregoing sketch, with the exception of some 
additional statistics, is copied from the "History of Renesselaer 
County, New York," published in 1880, and was written by 
Irving Browne, Esq., a prominent lawyer and editor of the 
Albany Law Journal.]

d. Washington, D. C, June 25, 1900. In an obitu- 
ary notice of Admiral James A. Greer, the "Army 
and Navy Journal" of June 25, 1904, says : 

"Rear Admiral James A. Greer, U. S. N., retired, 
died at his home, 2010 Hillyer place, Washington, 
D. C, June 17. in his seventy-second year. He had 
been in poor health, and for the past three months 
had been confined to his bed. Admiral Greer, who 
was born in Ohio Feb. 28, 1833, had a notable 
record of service. He was appointed midshipman 
Jan. 10, 1848. In 1854 he was promoted to the 
rank of passed midshipman, and in 1855 ^o that of 
master. He was commissioned a lieutenant in 
1855, and while on board the San Jacinto in 1861 
assisted in the removal of Mason and Slidell from 
the English mail steamer Trent. He was made a 
lieutenant commander in 1862, and commanded at 
different times the ironclads Carondelet and Benton, 
and a division of Rear Admiral Porter's Squadron 
in the Mississippi River. In the passage of Vicks- 
burg. x\pril 16, 1863, he fought the batteries of 
Grand Gulf for five hours, and in the combined 
attack on that city he was almost constantly under 
fire for 45 days. He had charge of the naval sta- 
tion at Mound City, 111., in 1864, and soon after 
was given command of the flagship Blackhawk, 
which position he held until February, 1865. He 
was commissioned as commander in 1866. and com- 
manded the purchased steamer Tigress when she 
went on the Polaris Relief Expedition, discovering 



26o KING GEXEALOGY. 

the lost ship wrecked on the coast of Greenland, her 
crew having gone south in search of aid. Before 
returning south himself Commander Greer cruised 
for some time in northern waters, looking for the 
survivors and taking notes. In 1876 he was made 
a captain, and as such had command of the training 
frigate Constitution and later of the sloop Constel- 
lation. He was employed afterward in taking 
United States exhibits to Havre, France, for the 
Paris Exposition. For a time he commanded the 
steamer Hartford at the South Atlantic Station. 
He was a member of the naval board of inspection 
later, and president of the naval examination and 
retiring boards from 1885 until 1887. In 1886 he 
was commissioned as a commodore, and in the fol- 
lowing year was appointed acting rear admiral. He 
commanded the European Squadron from 1887 to 
1889. In 1889 he was president of the board of 
organization, tactics and drills, and was fulfilling 
other duties. He was commissioned a rear admiral 
in 1892, and after that time was again president of 
the naval examining and retiring boards. He 
was retired Feb. 28, 1895, and spent the rest of his 
life with his family in Washington. He was sta- 
tioned at the navy yard in Washington for a num- 
ber of years. The funeral took place Sunday af- 
ternoon, June 19, with military honors, and the in- 
terment was at Arlington. Rev. Dr. Alfred Hard- 
ing, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, con- 
ducted the services. Admiral Greer leaves a daugh- 
ter, Byrd Page Greer, and two sons, James W. and 
Edward R. Greer, all of whom live in Washington. 
His wife died four years ago." 

The Dayton, Ohio, Journal has also very appro- 
priately said: "The death of Rear Admiral Greer, 
retired, removes a noteworthy link between the old 
and the new in the history of the United States 
navy. His youthful years of service belonged to 
the time when there were still sloops and frigates 
and line-of-battle ships, when a man-of-war carried 
the population of a town and rows on rows of 
cannon. He witnessed the introduction of steam- 
ships into the navy and all the changes from the 
wooden vessel to the modern floating castle of 



SIXTH GENERATION. 261 

Steel, from broadsides of sixty- four and upwards 
of old smooth bore guns that were best fought at 
a distance of a few hundred feet to long, great 
steel guns that throw a shell clear over the horizon 
and hit an enemy hull down and almost out of 
sight. His life covered the whole series of changes 
in tactics from the dav when it was of the highest 
importance to get the wind gauge in a contest at 
sea, down to the time when the important factor 
in maneuvering is to know the radius of a circle in 
which a ship can turn and in strategy to how far 
she can go without refilling her coal bunkers. 

"Aside from the armored float, which Napoleon 
the Third tried in the Crimean war. Admiral Greer 
shared some of the earliest experiments in iron- 
clads, those in which river steamboats were con- 
verted into gunboats with sloping covers of rail- 
road iron. Up and down the Mississippi, up and 
down Red river, his name is written in the history 
of a kind of naval warfare almost unexampled in 
the experience of mankind, when fleets were built 
and manned to fight tremendous battles hundreds 
of miles from the sea, sometimes in places that led 
Abraham Lincoln to say that Uncle Sam's sailors 
were web-footed and ready to sail their vessels 
wherever there was a heavy dew. 

"No doubt this was a very different kind of 
naval warfare from any that he had dreamed of 
when he was with the sloop-of-war St. Mary's in 
the Pacific, or the frigate Columbia or the Inde- 
pendence in the fifties long before the Civil war 
was feared even as a possibility. Even at the out- 
break of the war, he was still a salt water sailor and 
shared in the historical achievement of taking 
Mason and Slidell from the British steamer Trent. 
And after the war was over and the river fleets 
had disappeared, he returned to the sea, none the 
worse from his fresh water experience. The navy 
has changed much so far as its ships are concerned 
and its guns and projectiles and powder. But it 
will never see the time when it will not need men 
like Admiral Greer."

Gen. Wood was well known, not only because of 
his services in the War of the Rebellion, but as a 
survivor of the Mexican War, in which he served 
as a Lieutenant, as did Grant, Sherman, Johnston 
and many others who won high rank in the Civil 
War. Gen. Wood's chief military renown was the 
result of his splendid work in the War of the Re- 
bellion as a brigade, division, and corps commander. 
Unlike some other general officers he declined to be 
invalided and leave his troops even when wounded 
and there are few if any who served longer in the 
field than he, or with more ability. His intelligent 
comprehension of the plans of his superiors and 
prompt co-operation in the necessary movements 
were material contributions to the success of cam- 
paigns. His personal bravery was never questioned, 
nor was his reputation as a soldier ever success- 
fully assailed. 

Gen. Wood was graduated from the Military 
academy at West Point on July i, 1845, as a brevet 
second lieutenant in the topographical engineers, 
and was at once ordered to report for duty to Gen. 
Zachary Taylor whose headquarters were at Corpus 
Christi, Texas. The next spring Taylor marched 
his little army to the Rio Grande which movement 
provoked a declaration of war from the Mexican 
government. Lieut. Wood was engaged at the bat- 
tles of Palo Alto, Monteray and Buena Vista and 
was then transferred to the cavalry service and

assigned to the Second dragoons. He remained on 
duty in Mexico until that country was evacuated 
by the American troops. 

In the fall of 1848 Gen. Wood went with his 
regiment to the Indian frontier of Texas where he 
remained for eleven years. He served as aide to 
Gen. Harney at San Antonia and Austin in 1849, 
and was Adjutant of the Second dragoons from 
September, 1849, until July, 1854. At the out- 
break of the civil war he was a captain of cavalry 
and soon thereafter was assigned to the command 
of a division of infantry. He participated in the 
battles of Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River, Chicka- 
mauga, Missionary Ridge, Franklin and Nashville 
and all the many actions of the Atlanta campaign. 

He was severely wounded at Stone River and 
again at Lovejoy's Station. He was for three 
years in command of a division until promoted to 
the command of the 4th army corps, as successor 
to Gen. Stanley, wounded at the battle of Franklin, 
Tenn., Nov. 30, 1864. This corps he commanded 
until it was mustered out of service in 1865. 

Gen. Wood's long and active service compelled 
his retirement for disability in 1868. He was 
placed on the retired list as Major General, a rank 
he had fairly earned and well deserved. 

Gen. Wood was a good disciplinarian without 
being in any degree a martinet. He abhorred pil- 
laging and straggling as subversive of military dis- 
cipline. He was solicitous for the comfort of his 
soldiers and the commissary department of his 
division was one of the best in the army. So far 
as it was possible for him to provide, his men had 
their full share of whatever rations were in sight, 
and if their haversacks were sometimes empty they 
always had the regulation "forty rounds" in their 
cartridge boxes. In action he was cool, resolute, 
resourceful and even jocular, as shown by his re- 
mark to Gen. Crittenden just as the division was 
going into battle at Stone River, Dec. 31, 1862: 
"Good bye, General, we'll all meet at the hatter's, 
as one coon said to another when the dogs were 
after them." 



264 KING GENEALOGY. 

Only two brigades of Wood's division were en- 
gaged at Chicamauga, one brigade remaining in 
Chattanooga on garrison duty. After the disaster 
to the right on the second day, Gen. Brannan 
formed his division on "Horseshoe" ridge, but did 
not connect with Reynolds' division next on the left. 
Wood was moving to close this interval when the 
advancing enemy came within musket range. 
Changing front under fire, always a dangerous 
movement, Wood faced his division south instead 
of east, ordered a charge with fixed bayonets, drove 
back the Confederates and gained the precious 
moments necessary to bring his troops in to the 
gap between Brannan's and Reynolds' divisions. 
Here for five hours raged an incessant storm of 
battle. Thomas, from the rear of Wood's division, 
sent up two cannon with the message, "The position 
must be held." "Tell Gen. Thomas," was the reply, 
"that we will hold the position or go to heaven from 
it." During that Sunday afternoon of terrific fight- 
ing, the only men that fell away from the Federal 
position were the wounded and the heroic souls 
that went "to heaven from it." When the blessed 
night came the Union line was still intact and the 
army had been saved. 

For many years one of the most familiar sights 
on the streets of Dayton was a sturdy old soldier 
with a kind word and smile for every one he met, 
and when a stranger would ask who he was, the 
answer was always the same, "That's the General." 

Rich or poor, high or low, made no difference 
with him, his broad nature took them all in and 
made mankind his friend. 

Such was Thomas J. Wood, the citizen, in the 
daily walks of peace and these last years served 
to round out his life. 

For many years on Memorial Day he acted as 
Grand Marshal and sat upon his horse up to his 
eightieth year as well as he ever did in youth. His 
daily ride was a feature of his life and it was a 
matter of comment that no one could sit a 
horse as well as Gen. Wood could. In his home 
life he believed that a man's highest duty was to 
those who gathered round the same fire-side. When 



SIXTH GENERATION. 



265 



the last days came, when strength and health were 
gradually fading away, never for a moment was 
that serene nature daunted, never a complaint 
came. With a smile on his lips he fought the 
battle to the end. 

Up to the last two years of his life, he retained 
the strength and vitality of a man of sixty, but 
gradually his health broke down. There was no 
special sickness or disease. The machine, a good 
machine at that, which had done faithful service in 
the bloody days of the sixties, was wearing out, and 
the spark of life burning low. 

Although he fought his grim adversary as vali- 
antly as he had on the slopes of Snodgrass Hill, the 
victory could not be his. 

At last on a peaceful Sunday afternoon that gal- 
lant soul quietly passed away; a brave soldier had 
gone over the river to join his comrades of the 
days of yore. 

Years before General Wood had expressed a 
desire to be buried in the cemetery at West Point 
and in conformity to that wish his body was in- 
terred on the beautiful banks of the Hudson. 

There he rests in peace, his life work well done. 
As a soldier he never failed to do his duty; as a 
citizen he neglected no responsibility; as a man he 
did justice to every man, and surely that beautiful 
verse which Saint Paul wrote many years ago ex- 
presses his character : 'T have fought a good fight, 
I have finished my course, I have kept the faith' 
henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of 
righteousness." 

Mrs. Wood resides at Dayton, O., and their 
children were born at Dayton.

Colonel Edward Augustine "^King, U. S. A., {Augustine,^ 
Lt. Eliphalet* Capt. Joseph,^ Jamcsr William^), born in Cam- 
bridge, N. Y., April 3, 1814. Killed at the battle of Chicamauga, 
Sept. 20. 1863. He was Colonel of the Sixth U. S. Infantry and 
also Colonel of the 68th Indiana Volunteers. When killed he 
was in command, Acting Brigadier General of the Second Bri- 
gade, Reynolds Division, 14th Army Corps U. S. A. He had 
ridden out in front of the lines of his brigade to reconnoitre, 
when a ball from a Confederate sharpshooter struck him down. 
In the early days Edward A. King was a well known man in 
Dayton, Ohio. He was a soldier born. When Texas made her 
gallant struggle against Mexico he had fought under the Lone 
Star banner. Again when troops were called for in 1847, ""^^ 
volunteered and served through General Scott's campaign to the 
capture of the City of Mexico as a Captain in the 15th U. S. 
Infantry. When the Civil War broke out he at once reported 
to Gov. Denison of Ohio with his company and was placed in 
command of Camp Jackson. He first took the field in 1862 as 
Colonel of the 68th Indiana Infantry and served in the Kentucky 
campaign in 1862. his regiment being one of those captured at 
Mumfordville, and Col. King saved the regimental flag by wrap- 
ping it around his body and carrying it there until he was ex- 
changed, and when he was struck down on the field of Chica- 
mauga and the order came to retreat his body was placed on a 
caisson and carried ofif the field, being the only body carried off 
the field on the night of September 20th, 1863, or as the 68th 
Indiana said: "He saved our flag and we saved his body." 
Shortly before his death he had been promoted to the Colonelcy 
of the 6th U. S. Infantry. The spot where Colonel Edward A. 
Kinsf fell is marked bv one of the monuments erected by the 
government to designate the place where general officers were 
killed. In 1842, at Cincinnati, O., Col. Edward A. King married 
Sarah McNaughton, born in Cambridge, Washington Co., N. Y., 
died in Dayton, O., Feb. 17, 1866.

only child of Walter Hyde and Roxalena (Powers) Smith of 
Hartford, Vt., born in Hartford, Vt., June 25, 1822. In 1826 he 
came with his father to Columbus, Ohio, and in 1834 settled at 
Dayton, Ohio, where his father and brother-in-law, Mr. James 
Greer, formed a partnership for the manufacture and sale of 
stoves. Rufus King entered into their employment in 1834 and 
on his father's retirement from the business in 1845 succeeded 
to the business with Mr. Greer until the decease of the latter in 
1874 and thereafter conducted the business alone until 1884 when 
he closed it up and retired from active business. Mr. Rufus J. 
King thus spent among the foundry warehouses and offices fifty 
of the best and most active years of his life and made his record 
as an honorable, judicious and successful business man. Since 
1888 Mr. King has been Vice-President of the Third National 
Bank of Dayton, O., in which he had served as a director for 
many years. Mr. and Mrs. King are now spending the evening 
of a useful and happy life under the same roof that has sheltered

(Taylor) Raymond, daughter of William Henry and Effie 
Frances (Fitch) Taylor, born in Milan, O., June 13, 1847. Mr. 
Joseph Merritt King (called by his second name as are also his 
brother and sister) worked on his father's farm and attended the 
district school until he was about seventeen years of age, when 
he entered Brattleboro Academy. He afterward taught in his 
home and other district schools. On becoming of age he went 
to the state of New York, where he taught winters and attended 
the Stillwater Seminary during the summers. He did some sur- 
veying with the city engineer at Saratoga Springs. In the fall 
of 1854 he joined an engineering party to survey the Saratoga 
and Sacketts Harbor R. R., spending most of the winter in the 
Adirondack wilderness. Returning to Saratoga he worked on 
railway construction and when work was suspended he returned 
to Marlboro, Vt. His next work was on the Troy and Green- 
field, better known as the Hoosic Tunnel road, — his work ex- 
tending from Greenfield to the mouth of the Hoosic tunnel. 



290 KING GENEALOGY. 

Afterwards he went on a branch of the Pessumpsic, from St. 
Johnsbury to the head of Lake Memphramgog, of which road 
Jonathan Adams was chief engineer. A short survey was also 
made in Canada. In April, 1858 he went to Arkansas where he 
was on preliminary survey up the Arkansas River, on the Little 
Rock and Ft. Smith branch of the Cairo and Fulton R. R. On 
account of the then pending war between the north and the 
south he came away, going to Burlington, Iowa, where he went 
on the B. & M. road between Mt. Pleasant and Ottumwa, la. 
He then entered the land department, surveying and examining 
the lands granted to the B. & M. R. R., in Iowa. In 1862 he 
went to Aurora, Ills., in charge of the Chicago branch of the C. 
15. & Q. R. R., from Aurora to Chicago. While on this work 
he staked out the first stock yards of this road in Chicago, 
though they were never completed and were moved to South 
Chicago. He again entered the land department, with Burling- 
ton as his home, attending to matters pertaining to the land 
grant, paying taxes, valuing the land, etc., traveling through 
Nebraska and depending on his map to find a settlers cabin 
where he might find food and shelter for the night. He pre- 
pared the list of lands in the Nebraska land grant, going as far 
west as Ft. Kearney. About 1870 he left the R. R. Co., and 
devoted himself to looking after his own land which he had 
purchased. From thence forward he engaged in buying and 
selling land for himself. For many years he has been an ex- 
tensive land owner, renting farms and superintending the keep- 
ing of stock, etc. His home has been in Red Oak, Iowa, for 
about thirty years. He is a natural student ; a man who thinks 
and speaks accurately and also humorously. His wife, Mrs. 
King, once a teacher, takes a keen and able interest in educa- 
tional club work.

Nathan and Mary (Gunn) Priest, born in West Northfield, 
Mass., Aug. II, 1829; died in West Northfield, Dec. 23, 1875. 
Her married life was spent on her husband's home farm, where 
he had always lived, in West Northfield ( where he was also in- 
terested with his brother, Dwight Solomon Priest, in various 
business enterprises) until her entire family died within six 
weeks of diphtheria. Sustained by her strong and abiding faith 
in the life hereafter, she has borne her great sorrow with 
Christian fortitude. This is expressed in the following lines 
from one of her poems : 

"What will be the soul's awakening 

On that bright and blissful shore 

When it meets in joy triumphant 

All the Dear Ones gone before ? 

There the soul in rich fruition 

Dwells in perfect love and peace. 

No more sorrow, no more sighing 

In its sweet and glad release." 
A member of the Congregational church, she has not been 
narrow in religious belief, nor in her outlook, but has believed 
every where in the unfailing courage of convictions. She has 
had a life-long unusual love for music, and has the understand- 
ing of it that comes only by years of devotion to it. A number 
of old family papers are in her possession, and her help and in- 
terest in the work of making the family records complete, have

Natchez, Miss., where he saw so much of the evils of slavery 
that he gave up solid advantages rather than rear his family 
heneath the influences of that blighting institution. He settled

mon Pleas, Trumbull Co., Ohio. He was the candidate of the 
Liberty Party for Governor of Ohio in 1842, and again in 1844.

Fidelia Kennedy, of Aurora, O., daughter of Justin and Betsey 
(Hathaway) Kennedy of Blanford and Berkshire, Mass., born 
June 6, 1826. Mr. Henry Caleb King was a man of unquestion- 
able integrity and uprightness of character, "whose word was 
as good as his bond." He had strong convictions and always 
had the courage of his convictions. 

An accident in early manhood made him a lifelong suflferer 
from nervous dyspepsia and kindred diseases, which together with 
the many sorrows of his life, gave a tinge of sadness to an other- 
wise most genial nature. He had a fine mind, and was in the 
truest sense an intellectual man. While not a fluent speaker. 



J04 KING GENEALOGY. 

he always expressed himself with such force and clearness, and 
possessed such ready wit, that he was a most delightful com- 
panion. 

In a marked degree, he had the gift of teaching, and the 
power not only of imparting information, but also of impressing 
upon others his own ideals and convictions. 

Quiet and retiring, he never held any office except in the 
Disciple Church, where he was an Elder for many years, and 
which he considered a high honor, as well as a great responsi- 
bility. 

While not a popular man with all classes, he had a great many 
warm friends, and was "ever a lover of good men and women." 

He always exercised the grace of hospitality, and was a model 
neighbor ; his skill in nursing, and his quick sympathy made him 
very helpful to those who were sick or in trouble. 

]n all his relations of life he was true and faithful; but it was 
as a father that his character shone out the brightest. He was 
in every sense of the term, the head of his family. 

In his last illness, when suffering the tortures of slow starva- 
tion, he refused to take anything in the line of narcotics because 
he said he wanted to retain his consciousness and go rejoicing 
and triumphant. His last words were "God is love, trust Him."

James,- William^, born in Suffield, Oct. 13, 1816; died in Day-

In early life Lyman King moved to New Brunswick, N. J., 
where he taught school. While there he became interested in the 
mulberry speculation in which he made some money. It was at 
this time he married and a year or so later, 1840-1841, he moved 
to Springfield, Mass., and for a few years was engaged in trade. 
He became interested in the water supply system for Spring- 
field and also engaged actively in the wholesale produce com- 
mission business ; also in the manufacture of gold chains, metallic 
cartridges and paper. Being very successful he accumulated a 
considerable fortune. Toward the close of the Civil War he 
entered largely into the manufacture of woolen goods, building 
a mill and equipping it with the best machinery. In the depres- 
sion following the war he made large losses, resulting finally in 
the loss of his entire fortune. The last years of his life he de- 
voted largely to the care of his garden, being very fond of the 
cultivation of fancy fruits and flowers. He was a member of 
the First Baptist Church, was upright and honorable in all his 
dealings and had a large circle of friends. Mrs. King survived 
him and died at the residence of her son, Robert Newton King 
of Dayton, Ohio. Children were born at Springfield.

Jany. 19, 1890; married in Suffield, April 7, 1831, Aurelia Gerald, 
born Sept. 22, 1804; died Dec. 23, 1885. Mr. King was educated 
in the common schools of his time and, as he possessed a strong 
and active intellect, he made the most of his opportunities, mathe- 
matics being his favorite study. His boyhood was spent upon a 
farm and during this period he was in poor health and so delicate 
that no one thought he would live to old age. His fathers' hold- 
insfs were small and not sufficient to afiford iVbel a start in life, 
but he determined upon a mercantile career and began a small 
grocery business near Boston Neck in partnership with Mr. 
Francis. This business was prosperous from the beginning. In 
course of time Mr. King retired from the grocery business and 
engaged in the manufacture of cigar boxes with very considerable 
success. His factory at Boston Neck had water power and he 
also equipped his mill with machinery for grinding grain to ac- 
commodate the farmers of that vicinity from whom he also bought 
the tobacco which they raised and which he resold to New York 
and Philadelphia dealers. Allen Loomis was a partner in many of 
Mr. King's early ventures and subsequently Neland Loomis was 
interested with him. For many years Mr. Abel King was as- 
sociated in different enterprises with the best men of Suffield, but 
as his wealth increased he carried on his operations alone. Fail- 
ing health caused his retirement from active business in 1864. 
Politically Mr. King was a staunch Democrat with a keen regard 
for the value of his vote, but he would not neglect business for 
politics. In disposition he was quiet and although inclined to 
sociability and well posted on current events, he was a man of 
few words and averse to heated arguments. For many years 
he resided in Boston Neck but finally removed to Suffield, where 
he remodeled his house and spent his last days in comfort and in 
the enjoyment of the quiet of home life.

the business houses of St. Louis. Upon the establishment of the 

State insurance department in 1869, his firm having retired from 

business a short time previously, Mr. King was appointed by 

Governor McClurg the first Superintendent of Insurance. His 

administration is well remembered for the vigor with which he 

pursued and the success he attained in ridding Missouri of the 

l:)rood of wild-cats which for years had been a blot and shame 

upon the insurance business. Mr. King was also a member of

April 14, 1856, Elizabeth F. Stead; (2) Mrs. Harriet Bidwell. 
In early life Mr. King came to Springfield, Mass., and began 
the business of manufacturing balmoral skirts, but after about 
three years sold out his interest to a New York firm and went to 
New Jersey, where he engaged in the manufacture of paper. 
He was quite successful until his factory was destroyed by fire 
causing a total loss. He then returned to Springfield, entered 
into the junk business and was very prosperous. He erected a 
block of buildings, had a large paper business and also a paper 
manufactory in Hampden. He engaged more extensively in 
building blocks and while inspecting the erection of one of his 
buildings which was in process of erection a timber fell strik- 
ing him on the head and killing him. His sons, William Henry Jr., 
and John Benjamin King, continued the paper business until 1893 
when they suffered a heavy financial loss and John B. King sold 
out his share, but William H. King Jr. continued in the new firm, 
It was not long thereafter, however, until William H. King, Jr., 
met with severe losses and was also compelled to sell out his share 
of the paper business. His children were by his first marriage.

Groat. No issue. Mr. King resides at Bainbridge, Broome Co., 
N. Y. Soon after Judson King's father came from Connecticut, 
over one hundred years ago, he bought a tract of land about 
ten miles north of the little town of Deposit, Broome County, 
N. Y., where he had found a spring of good water, built a log 
house and began . clearing the land which was in the midst of 
a thick forest. "Every night," writes Mr. Judson King, "my 
father could hear the panthers screaming in the forest, and I 
have heard my mother say that in winter the wolves were so 
bold that they would come at night and put their paws upon the 
window sills and look into the house so that she often took a 
brand of fire and flung it at them to scare them away." This is 
the old homestead upon which Addison King now lives and the 
spring is still running. It was on this homestead that Judson 
King grew to useful manhood.

ticed at Ogdensburg for a term of years. Because of impaired

wich, Conn., and continued their business there in two different

born June 21, 181 2. The sweet disposition and unselfish saintly 
life of Mrs. Cindonia (King) Chaffee deserve a word of eulogy. 
After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Chaffee made their 



SEVENTH GENERATION. 35 1 

home in Somers, Conn., where Mr. Chaffee conducted a farm. 
Later he was engaged with his brother in selHng goods through 
the Southern States. He was a man of more than usual abihty, 
a fine type of the man, who a half century ago gave New Eng- 
land its reputation for ability and integrity in the business world. 
He was, however, early a victim of consumption and died at 41 
years of age, just as the material fruits of his labors seemed 
about to be realized, leaving the young wife with one little girl 
to face life's battle alone. Mrs. Chaffee spent a year or two in 
.Springfield, Mass., then returned to Somers and upon the mar- 
riage of her daughter, Harriet Eliza Chaffee to Clayton Grant of 
South Windsor, Conn., went to live with them. She had been, 
for many years, a member of the Congregational Church at 
Somers. Her last illness was only a fading away of the physical. 
The end came in perfect peace. We commonly call it the end. 
I kit if we take the larger and happier view of life, believing its 
vicissitudes merely incidental to the development of the divine 
in us, then certainly the going of those we call "full of years" is 
really a springing into new life — a glad valedictory. "Say not 
good-night, but in some brighter clime, bid me good-morning."

often written in the records as Henry G. King of Longmeadow

in-law, Erasmus D. Chaffee and neither ever returned. It is 
supposed both died there. It was rumored that George Henry 
King married in California and had a son but we have been 
unable thus far to trace him.

taste ; but he became eminently successful therein. He was the 
inventor of what was probably the first successful cartridge-

The Misses Kin.«- (Isadora and Emma Cornelia) reside in the 
old homestead known as "The Kingdom," which has sheltered 
four generations of their family. Miss Emma Cornelia King 
has traveled extensively not only throughout the United States, 
but also in Europe and elsewhere. While in England she obtained 
much valuable information concerning the English ancestry of 
the King family and its coat of arms. Visiting France she 
devoted considerable time to the investigation of the French 
Huguenot ancestry of the Devotion (de Vaution) family and 
its armorial bearings. It will be recollected that Captain Joseph' 
King, (James,- William^), of Suffield, Conn., married Hannah 
Devotion, daughter of Rev. Ebenezer^ Devotion (John,- Edward^ 
of Roxbury and Brookline A. D. 1645). Miss Emma C. King 
kindly furnished to the compiler of this Genealogy the very valu- 
able results of her researches.

Army on the Potomac during the War of the Rebellion and 
contracted therein, shortly after the second battle of Bull Run, 
in which he was engaged, the disease from the effects of which 
he eventually died. From one of his letters to his sister, Miss 
Mary E. King, dated Sept. 30, 1862, the following is an extract: 

"Your letter which I received at Harpers Ferry has been un- 
answered a long time but the circumstances were such that it was 
impossible to write, as the Rebels had surrounded us and the 
communication was cut off. All of our telegraph and mail matter 
fell into their hands. 

"You probably are aware that the Regiment to which I be- 
longed was captured together with the rest of the garrison, 
numbering between 800 and 1000 men by the rebels under General 
Stonewall Jackson on the 15th of September. We were in their 
hands only two days. During that time we were treated as 
gentlemen, and had everything we could wish for under the 
circumstances."

Hands in the Affairs of the Pacific Coast," published at San 
1^'rancisco in 1892 by the Western Historical and Publishing Co., 
we extract the following: 

"Col. Cameron H. King was born near Rochester, New York, 
on December 21, 1844, and completed his education at the 
University of Rochester, class of 1863. Col. King comes of a 
race of lawyers. His father was a prominent lawyer of Western 
New York and his maternal grandfather, F^letcher M. Haight, 
was Judge of the United States District Court in California. 
Col. King was engaged in mining in Montana from 1865 to 



3/8 KING GENEALOGY. 

1868 but came to California in the latter year at the request of 
his uncle, Henry H. Haight, who was then Governor of the 
State. He was appointed Executive Secretary of the Governor 
and at the same time began the study of law in his uncle's 
office and was admitted to the practice of the law April 14, 
1873, by the Supreme Court. In 1870 Col. King was elected 
the Secretary of the Code Commission of which Col. Creed 
Haymond was Chairman and John C. Burch and Charles Lindley. 
afterwards succeeded by Charles A. Tuttle, were members. Col. 
King assisted in the compilation of the Codes and in the annota- 
tion of the Commissioners' edition, and gave marked evidence of 
unusual legal ability. For a number of years Col. King was 
connected with the State Militia and was a Lieutenant-Colonel 
on the Staff of the Governor of California. 

"One of the first efforts of Col. King at the bar was his able 
defense of the notorious Charles Mortimer, who had committed 
many murders and was finally hanged at Sacramento, Cal., for 
the murder of Mrs. Gibson. Col. King also successfully de- 
fended Edward J. Muybridge. the photographer, for the killing 
of Harry Larkins. In this trial, at Napa City, the young lawyer 
displayed his oratorical powers to great advantage and divided 
the honors with the eloquent Hon. Wirt Pendegast. The killing 
of Larkins was occasioned by the intimacy of the latter with 
Muybridge's wife. The homicide attracted great attention at 
the time, and the report of the trial and Col. King's address to 
the jury were telegraphed to the daily press of San Francisco 
and published in full. In civil practice Colonel King has attained 
equal distinction. In the contest of the will of John S. Manson, 
Colonel King and Hon. Arthur Rodgers, his partner, received 
for their services the handsome fee of $33,000. Colonel King 
in the suit of Smith vs. San Francisco, recovered for his client 
$66,000 for lumber burned on Beale Street Wharf during the 
Denis Kearney anti-Chinese agitation. The case was remarkable 
from the fact that Colonel King proved the existence of a riot 
in that neighborhood entirely by circumstantial evidence. The 
owners of the lumber being unable to procure eye-witnesses of 
the actual incendiarism, had attempted to obtain indemnity from 



SEVENTH GENERATION. 379 

the State Legislature and failed. Many prominent attorneys 
declined the case on the ground of the impossibility of estab- 
lishing the necessary facts by sufficient evidence. When Colonel 
King clearly demonstrated them by a strong and irrefutable 
chain of circumstances without actual eye-witnesses of the act 
itself, and by clear convincing argument secured a merited 
verdict at the hands of a jury, the lumber owners gladly paid 
him his fee of $30,000. From 1881 to 1888 Colonel King was 
absent from the State of California, during a portion of which 
time he was traveling. In 1885 he was engaged in very im- 
portant law suits in the Territory of Arizona. In that year also 
he was appointed by President Grover Cleveland Special United 
States Attorney for Arizona. In 1886 he was appointed by the 
Governor and Legislature of that Territory a Commissioner to 
revise its laws. Colonel King was made chairman of the Com- 
mission and the rapidity and excellence of his work has been 
frequently extolled. All the pre-existing laws of the Territory 
were repealed in toto and a new Code, or Revised Statutes as 
it was called, was enacted, all vested rights being carefully 
preserved. The new system of laws worked with admirable 
smoothness, without the disturbance of any vested interests and 
have ever since been in force, giving general satisfaction. Upon 
the completion of the revision of the laws of Arizona, Colonel 
King was, by the Governor, appointed Commissioner of Immi- 
gration, and filled the office creditably, finally resigning to resume 
the practice of his profession in San Francisco. On his return 
to San Francisco Colonel King as attorney for Duncan F. Mac- 
Donald was successful in an action to establish MacDonald's 
partnership right to one half of property valued at $250,000, 
standing in the name of Captain Charles E. S. MacDonald, who 
came to California in 1850 and died leaving a very large estate. 
Colonel King is still, as he has ever been, a close student, and an

ried. Mr. King had a magnificent physique, standing six feet 

and two inches in height and weighing about two hundred and 
sixty-five pounds, but never looked corpulent. He was a most 
accomplished musician and acknowledged to be one of the 
greatest tenors which America has produced. The New York 
Herald of August 15, 1897, published a lengthy obituary notice 
of him from which we quote the following extract : 

"Probably America has never produced a more remarkable 
tenor voice than King's — phenomenal in its range, as sweet as that 
of a boy soprano, and yet as full and virile and manly as one

could wish for in a genuine tenor. That acknowledged musical 
authority, Sir Charles Halle, said when Mr. King sang in 
England that it was the first time that he had heard the voice 
of Mario since the death of the great singer, and when Tamagno 
heard him he went to him, and, taking him by the hands, said — 
the greatest of all compliments to come from an operatic tenor : 
T wish I had your voice.' 

"Mr. King chose the oratorio field, and there for years he had 
a career that stamped him as possessed of exceptional artistic 
gifts and personal popularity. He and Mme. Lehmann sang 
to 15,000 people at the Toronto musical festival where, unfor- 
tunately, the first seeds of his fatal disease were sown, and for 
years he was a prominent figure at the great oratorio perform- 
ances throughout the country. 

"His beautiful voice, noble style and coulfulness of expression 
were often heard with touching efifect in divine service in some 
of the prominent churches of this city, notably the Fifth Avenue 
Baptist, St. Mark's, the First Baptist and the Church of the 
Convent. No tenor received a larger sum than did Mr. King 
when he consented to sing in church. The quality of his voice 
in its sweetness and sympathy was not alone remarkable, but 
the range and execution were equal to that of a high florid 
soprano. He could sing easily and purely to high F and could 
give a soprano aria with all the brilliant cadenzas attached to 
it with the utmost ease, yet his voice was not in the least efifemi- 
nate in character, but that rarity of the day — a sweet, pure, 
manly tenor. 

"Personally Mr. King w^as of charming character and manners. 

"Mr. King studied for grand opera, and some of his greatest 
triumphs were achieved by his splendid rendition of the most 
difficult operatic arias. Had he not been stricken down with 
diabetes at the early age of thirty-four, he would undoubtedly 
have become one of the world's greatest operatic tenors."

Maria Jane' King. (Lester Theodore,*" Artcmas,'' Theodore,''

Clark, Dodge & Co., bankers, Wall street. New York City. 
Mrs. Quick, like her brother, Mr. Albert Lester King, of whom 
we have above written, is also an accomplished musician. She

that denotes care and culture and she uses it judiciously and 
with effect. She sang with her brother in the Fifth Avenue 
Baptist Church, New York City, frequently called the "Rocke- 
feller Church" (Mr. John D. Rockefeller was chairman of the 
Music Committee at that time). Her position was solo soprano 
and her brother was solo tenor. The choir was conceded to be 
the finest in New York. Frequently Mrs. Quick's voice has 
been compared to that of the great dramatic soprano Mme. ■ 
Lilli Lehman. Mrs. Quick was never in robust health and for 
several years has not accepted yearly engagements, though she 
retains her glorious voice and occasionally appears in concert 
and church work and is deeply interested in the art of singing. 
Being recognized as an authority on tone production, she is 
frequently consulted and gives vocal instruction. With a voice 
of exceptional purity and sweetness and as strong ns it is rich 
her experience as solo soprano has been of the bc.-,t. b'or three 
years she was solo soprano in Christ Church, Flartford, Conn., 
in Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New York City, two years, in 
Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn, one year, and in 
the Summerfield M. E. Church, Brooklyn three years. Socially, 
also, Mrs. Quick is a charming woman. No issue. Residence,

law and accepted the office of secretary and treasurer of the 
Akron Sewer Pipe company, the largest institution of its kind 
at that time in the world, which manufactured vitrified sewer 
pipe. 

Rapid success followed his management of this company, the 
])roduct of which is 1880 had reached the amount of $400,000 
])er annum. The completion of the Atlantic and Great Western 
railroad in 1864 gave a great impetus to the manufacturing in- 
terests of Akron, and to Mr. King's intelligent activity and finan- 
cial ability was largely due the advanced position as a nianfac- 
turing point of which Akron is justly proud. All enterprises for 
the promotion of the city's growth found in Mr. King a liberal 
supporter and capable worker. He was prominent in securing 
the extension of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and in 1871 was 
elected president of the Valley railroad, the establishing of which 
he did so much to secure. At the death of his father. Judge 
Leicester King, Mr. King assumed the management of the large 
landed estate which his father owned in company with Gen. 
Simon Perkins, pursuing a policy in the disposal of these lands 
which materially aided the interests of the growing city. 

A member of St. Paul's Episcopal church and for more than 
15 years an active superintendent of its Sunday school, he was 
always found a prominent worker in all charitable and T)enevo- 
lent enterprises. Mrs. King still resides at Akron. Ohio.

resents. Prof. Pendleton undertook the financial and educational 
portion of the development of Mr. Campbell's ideas of the method 
by which the religion of Christ should be taught and without his 
personality the history of the Christian Church as a great and 
powerful organization might never have been written. Entering 
the University of Virginia in 1836 he graduated from that insti- 
tution taking up the profession of law. In 1845 he was made Vice- 
President of Bethany College. Mr. Campbell being then Presi- 
dent, and from that time forth the responsibility of the institution 
devolved very largely upon Prof. Pendleton. When he married 
Miss King he was still a young man with his life's work before 
him and the loving companionship, the counsel and assistance 
given him through his long life by Mrs. Pendleton, who for 
forty-four years stood by his side in joy and in sorrow cannot be 
overestimated in casting up the final account of the work ac- 
complished by him. He was made President of the College in 
1866, which position he held until 1884, when he resigned, being 
then in his sixty-eighth year and feeling the burden too heavy 
for him ; he became soon after a resident of Eustis, Florida, the 
beautiful home being occupied by Mrs. Pendleton until her 
death and which is known as "The Palms." In 1872, being 
nominated by both Republican and Democratic parties, Prof. 
Pendleton served in the Constitutional Convention of West Vir- 
ginia. Mrs. Pendleton died Jany. 17, 1907, at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. J. R. Lamar, in Augusta, Ga.

Rev. John T. Avery, he came into the Christian life, and went 
to Oberlin College as a student with a view to preparing himself 
for the ministry. He left Oberlin, probably in 1854, to become 
Secretary and Treasurer of Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Mich., 
which position he held for a number of years, doing some teach- 
ing also in connection with his office work. He was then ap- 
pointed Cashier of the First National Bank of Hillsdale, Mich.,

no doubt done during the twenty years of his residence at Hills- 
dale, Michigan, where he was a very influential factor in both

Ahimaaz'' King, {Thomas,' Thomas,'' Ebcnezer;' Ebenezer.* 
James,-* James,- William,^ ) born Oct. 18. 1839: married July 9, 
1861 Amanda Luck. Mr. Ahimaaz King left Connecticut in 
1856 and spent one year in the office of Mr. Joseph W. King 
at Xenia. Ohio. He then began selling gun-powder for the Mi- 
ami Powder Co.. travelling mostly by wagon, as railroads then 
objected to carrying powder. He continued this occupation un- 
til the War of the Rebellion in 1861. when the Government's 
demand for powder became so great that all mills devoted their 
output to that purpose. Ever since that time Mr. King has de- 
voted his attention to the manufacture of powder and is now 
(1907) about the oldest powder manufacturer living. In 1877 
the King Powder Co. was formed, of which Mr. King became 
manager and the company's plant was located at what is now 
called King's Mills. Warren Co., Ohio. In 1898, on account of 



4l8 KING GENEALOGY. 

the change in guns and in order to continue a good powder 
trade, the company had to undertake the manufacture of fixed 
ammunition. Consequently a second company, The Peters Cart- 
ridge Co., of which Mr. King also became and still is manager. 
It is considered one of the largest cartridge plants in the United 
States. The town of King's Mills was built to accommodate 
the employes of these companies and at present (1907) there are 
from 1200 to 1500 persons employed in both companies. The 
town of King's Mills stands back from the river quite a distance 
and is a very pretty place. Mr. King is also President of the 
Loveland National P)ank at Loveland, Ohio.

for many years a leading business man in Suffield, Conn., Miss 
King became familiar with business methods under his instruc- 
tion and so capable did she prove to be as a pupil that in his 
later years he regarded her as a valued adviser. After his 
death she took personal control of her business affairs, manag- 
ing them with rare skill and discretion, her securities being among 
the most desirable held in the town. To a careful education 
obtained in the Connecticut Literary Institute at Sufifield, she 
added a liberal course of reading, and, as her summers 
were! always spent in travel, she learned much by observa- 
tion, giving her a most intelligent view of life and making her 
conversation full of interest. She was prominent in the best social 
circles of Suffield and was a generous contributor to local philan- 
thropies and to the work of the Baptist Church of which her 
parents were also members. Among other organizations to which

APPENDICES. 



FULLER-KING 

Elizabeth Fuller, born at Ipswich, Mass., May 31, 1652; 
died at Suffield, Conn., June 30, 1715; was married March 23, 
1674, at Ipswich, to James" King, (IVilliam'^), the founder of 
the King family of Suffield, Conn., and was therefore the first 
maternal ancestor of that family born in America. For this reason 
her ancestry and some account of her father and mother and their 
respective families may appropriately find a place here. 

Elizabeth Fuller was the daughter of John Fuller, who settled 
in Ipswich, Mass., in 1635. and died there May i, 1666, and there 
has been considerable controversy as to his ancestry. Professor 
Homer W. Brainard, of Hartford, Conn., in his genealogy of the 
family of Edward Fuller, brother of the historic Dr. Samuel 
Fuller (N. Y. Hist, and Biograph. Record, Vol. 33, p. 172, 
July, 1902), says: "It is highly probable that John Fuller, of 
Ipswich, in 1635. and William Fuller, of Hampton, his brother, 
Thomas Fuller, of Woburn ; Thomas Fuller, of Dedham; Giles 
Fuller, of Hampton, and Mathew Fuller, of Barnstable, were all 
relatives of Dr. Samuel and Edward Fuller." With the excep- 
tion of Thomas Fuller, of Woburn, I think Professor Brainard's 
statement is probably correct and that they were all descendants 
of a Fuller family which, as early as 1482, were living in Reden- 
hall. County Norfolk, England, and of which I shall speak here- 
after. 

The Fuller family took an important part in the founding of 
New England and some of its members were very conspicuous 
in the early history of the colony. Among these was Dr. Samuel 
Fuller, described as a physician "and also say-maker" (weaver 
of a kind of serge used for linings, shirts, aprons, etc.). In 
1607-8 large numbers of Englishmen unable to find religious 
freedom in their own country fled to Holland, "where they had 
heard was freedom of religion for all men." Dr. Samuel Fuller 
perhaps went with them at that time, or, if not, he soon thereafter 
joined them at Leyden, Holland, and there became the close 
friend of William Bradford, one of the English refugees, and 
then a silk-weaver at Leyden, but afterwards the able Governor 
of Plymouth Colony, New England, and later its accurate his- 
torian. In 1620 Dr. Samuel Fuller was one of those who em- 
barked at Delfthaven, Holland, on the "Speedwell" for America, 



502 APPENDICES. 

and when that vessel proved to he unseaworthy and was ahan- 
doned he and his brother. Edward h\iller. the latter's wife and 
their son Samuel, and William Butten, the servant of Dr. Samuel 
I'\iller, made five of the one hundred and two Puritan passen- 
gers whom the little Mayflower carried to the wilds of America, 
where they could worship God according to the dictates of their 
own consciences. Dr. Samuel Fuller and his brother, Edward 
Fuller, were signers of the "covenant" executed on board the 
Mayflower at "Cape Codd ye ii of Nouember. Ano. Dom. 
1620." 

There appears in the passenger list of those to be transported 
in the ship Abigail from England to New England. May, 1635. 
the following entries: "William Fuller. 2S vears ; To. Fuller, ic; 
years." The Jo. Fuller mentioned in this list was John Fuller, 
the father of Elizabeth. John and William Fuller came to New 
England together and settled at Ipswich. Mass.. where William 
became a proprietor in if>35. William removed from Ipswich 
in 1637 and sold his lands there in 1639. lie bought lands in 
Flampton, N. H.. in 1647, where he was a gunsmith,. Mis wife, 
Elizabeth, died there in 1642. He was a Representative in 1667 
and died at Hampton, May 26, 1693. 

John Fuller, father of Elizabeth (Fuller) King, was therefore 
an inhabitant of Ipswich, Mass., in 1635. He married in Ipswich, 
Elizabeth Emerson, baptized at Bishop's Stortford. County Herts, 
England, June 14, 1623. She was the daughter of Thomas Emer- 
son, of Ipswich. Mass. (T638). baptized at Bishop's Stortford, 
County Herts, England, July 26, 1584; died at Ipswich, Mass.. 
May I, 1666; married at Bishop's Stortford, July i, 161 1, Eliza- 
beth Brewster. Thomas Emerson was the immigrant ancestor of 
Ralph Waldo Emerson (See Emerson-King post). John Fuller 
was one of General Denison's subscribers in 1648, town surveyor 
of Ipswich in 1663. a Commoner in 1664. and owned land near 
Rocky Hill. He died at Ipswich. June 4, 1666. leaving a will 
which is still on record at Salem. Mass., in Essex probate regis- 
try. (See also New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Reg., Vol. 53, p. 335.) 
The will was not dated, but was probated Sept. 25, 1666. His 
wife survived him and married Thomas Perrin. 

In his will John Fuller mentions his children as follows : John, 
James, William. Thomas, Nathaniel. Joseph. Susanna, Elizabeth 
(afterwards wife of James King, of Suffield. Conn), Sarah and 
a child whose birth was expected (Mary). The will states that 
his "daughters Susanna and Elizabeth, their grandfather hath 
lately given them portions." The "grandfather" therein men- 
tioned was their mother's father. Thomas Emerson, who mentions 



FULLER-KINC;. 503 

Susanna and Elizabeth in a codicil (dated Jany. 4, 1660), to his 
will, dated May 31. 1653. and proved May 10, 1666. The portion 
of the codicil to the will of Thomas Emerson referring- to Susanna 
and Elizabeth is as follows : "Also in refrens to the twenty-fifth 
lin of this my wil it is to be understod that what tlier is men- 
tioned as to my daughter ffulor is my intent that it shall be holy 
and fuly devided between hur tow daughter at ye age of twenty 
\ers or at ve day of mariadg Susanna and Elizabeth." The 
twentv-fifth line of his will alluded to in this codicil is as follows : 
"Item 1 give vnto my daughter Elisabeth ffullor the best fether 
bed and boulster with a paire of blanketts and the best couerlett 
and the bedsted to Injoy for hir use untill hir daughter Susana 
atayne the age of Twenty yeares or day of h.-r mariage if shall 
happen sooner and then she to inioy them alsoe. I giue vnto my 
sayd daughter the great earned chest & the earned box with a 
little Trunck with all vt is in it and a small earned chest witli 
what is in it." 

John Euller a'lso mentions in his will his sons, John and Wil- 
liam, to whom he "bequeaths no more because their uncle hath 
undertaken to g-ive them sufificient portions." This very clause 
in the will, when taken in connection with other facts, seems to 
constitute strong evidence that the testator. John Iniller. was the 
son of Roger Fuller, of Topcroft, County Norfolk, England. 
1572-1644. Mr. Edward F. Everett, of Charleston, Mass., in 
the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 53, 
P- 335) very truly says: "No town entries at Ipswich. Mass., 
record the marriage or death of these two sons, John and Wil- 
liam., nor do their names appear on the church record there, 
therefore indicating they were not residents of Ipswich, yet we 
know they were living in 1689. as their names appear on the 
]-»robate records in that year when the estate of their brother 
Thomas was divided. All other brothers and sisters, and their 
families, are on the Ipswich town records. It is thus necessary 
to look elsewhere for John and William. We find a deposition 
of a William Fuller, of Hampton. N. H.. who states that he was 
seventy-three (y^) years of age in 1681, and that he came from 
Ipswich to Hampton, that he had a brother and son John, the 
last thirty-eight (38) years old in 1681. We have seen that a 
William Fuller left England in May. 1635, accompanied by John 
Fuller (supposed to bea brother) in the ship Abigail, William's 
age being stated on the passenger list as twenty-five years and 
John's at fifteen years, which would make that William's age in 
1681 possibly between seventy-two and seventy-three years, or in 
his seventv-third vear. We have seeti also that the William 



504 APPENDICES. 

who was twenty-five years in 1635 settled at Ipswich, removed 
from there, sold his lands there in 1639, bought lands in Hampton 
in 1647, was a Representative in 1667 and died at Hampton May 
26. 1693." "In Hampton also," says Mr. Everett, "we have a 
John and a William, Jr., whose parentage has never been decided, 
only supposed, who will fill the requirements of our John and 
William (sons of John of Ipswich) with an uncle William (Sr.) 
able to "undertake to give them sufficient portions." It has been 
conceded that William Fuller, Sr., of Hampton, was the son of 
Roger Fuller, of Topcroft, County Norfolk, England, and the 
Topcroft Parish Register of Baptisms (see New Eng. Hist, and 
Gen. Reg., Vol. 48, p. 345) contains the following entry: "1611 — 
William, son of Roger, baptized Dec. 14." If this be the same 
William Fuller who in May, 1635, sailed with John Fuller from 
England on the ship Abigail, his age would be about twenty-five 
years, as set forth on the passenger list of that ship. In addition 
to this Roger Fuller, of Topcroft, in his will proved in the Arch- 
deaconry of Norwich, August 1644, mentions his son William. 
It is true that the will of Roger Fuller does not mention any 
son named John nor does the parish register disclose the baptism 
of any child of Roger bearing the name John, but neither did 
the will of Roger nor the parish registers mention Giles Fuller as 
a son of Roger, and yet in the probate court at Hampton, N. H., 
it was shown by indisputable evidence that Giles Fuller, who died 
at Hampton in 1673, was a son of this Roger Fuller of Topcroft. 
I am inclined to think, from all the evidence now at hand, that 
John Fuller of Ipswich, Mass., was the son of Roger Fuller, of 
Topcroft, County Norfolk, England. It is possible, however, that 
he may be the son of some other member of this English family 
of Fuller, whose descendants were very numerous in the par- 
ishes of Redenhall, Harleston, Wortwell and Topcroft, County 
Norfolk, England. 

Mr. Francis H. Fuller, of Jamaica Plain, Mass., furnished to 
the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 55, 
p. 192, and Vol. 48, p. 345) the record of baptisms, marriages and 
burials from the parish registers of Redenhall, Harleston, Wort- 
well and Topcroft, County Norfolk, England. These registers 
shows (among others) the following baptisms: 

1609 — Wyllym Fuller, son of John Fuller, deceased, and Mar- 
garet, bapt. 30 June. 

1609 — William Fuller, son of Rafe Fuller and Elizabeth, his 
wife, bapt. 15 Aug. 

161 1 — William Fuller, son of William and Elizabeth Fuller, 
bapt. 5 March, 



FULLER-KING. 505 

161 1 — William Fuller, son of Roger Fuller (of Topcroft), 
bapt. 14 Dec. 

Any one of these Williams would closely answer the descrip- 
tion of the William Fuller who embarked on the Abigail, 1635, 
then aged twenty-five years, and also be sufficiently close to the 
William Fuller of Hampton who was about seventy-three years 
of age in 1681. There are also several of the name of John 
Fuller whose baptisms are mentioned in these parish registers 
and whose ages would closely correspond to that of our John 
Fuller of Ipswich, Mass. There were in this very large family 
of Fuller at Redenhall, Wortwell, Topcroft, Mendham and vi- 
cinity — all closely related — very many named John and William, 
so that it is hard to distinguish them and easy to mistake one 
for the other, but no matter which we take or what their relation- 
ship to each other may have been the ancestry of each and all 
of them leads us directly back to one and the same ancestor who 
was a still older John Fuller, who died at Redenhall May 3, 1558. 
I will therefore proceed with a brief synopsis of the English an- 
cestry of the Fuller family, embracing to some extent all the 
principal branches, from which it will also be seen that Dr. Samuel 
Fuller and Edward Fuller, his brother, the Mayflower Pilgrims ; 
Surgeon-General Mathew Fuller, Thomas Fuller of Dedham, 
Giles Fuller of Hampton, William Fuller of Hampton, and our 
John Fuller of Ipswich, Mass., whose daughter Elizabeth mar- 
ried James King of Suffield, Conn., were all closely related. In 
following out the several lines, however, I shall proceed upon 
the theory, which I think is the best supported by the evidence, 
that John Fuller of Ipswich was the son of Roger Fuller of Top- 
croft, County Norfolk, England. For this English ancestry I 
am indebted to an article in the New England Historical and 
Genealogical Register (Vol. 55, p. 192) written by Mr. Francis 
H. Fuller of Jamaica Plain. Mass. 

English Ancestry. 

There were living in Redenhall, County Norfolk, England, in 
1482 and 1488, John and William Fuller, both freeholders, as 
they were serving on a jury. In 1508 William Fuller and John 
Fuller, Jr., were named as grantees in a deed of land in Reden- 
hall. This land was bounded on one side by the "Free land of 
John Fuller." A copy of this deed may be seen in the Egerton 
Mss. 2713. fol. 7, British Museum. These Fullers, who lived at 
Redenhall and owned estates there prior to 1482, were the pro- 
genitors of those whose names are given below, but as there were 
no parish records in England before 1538 no record of baptisms, 
marriages or burials prior to that time can be given. I shall 



506 APPENDICES. 

therefore begin the English ancestry of the family with John and 
William Fuller, A. D. 1482, and continue it down to 1635, when 
a John and William Fulkr emigrated from England to America. 
In giving the issue of the several ancestors below named I have 
omitted the great majority of their children to save space and 
because they are unnecessary to my purpose, which is simply to 
show the direct lineage of John Fuller of Ipswich. Mass., in 1635. 
whose daughter Elizabeth married James King ofSufifield, Conn., 
March 23, 1674. 

First Generation. 



JoHN^ Fuller and William Fuller were freeholders in 
Redenhall, County Norfolk, England, in 1482, 1488, 1508, etc. 
They are the first ancestors of our Fuller family of whom at pres-

JoHN^ Fullp:r, (John,- Jolin^), born ; died May 15, 1599; 

married Ann CoUinge, who survived him and married Giles 
Chalker. I suppose this John Fuller to have been the grand- 
father of our John Fuller, of Ipswich, Mass.. in 1635. He left a 
will dated Jany. 28, 1598-9. proved May 8, 1599, in which he 
names among his sons "Thomas, the younger" and "Thomas, the 
elder;" "Younge William my sonne" and "Ould William, my 
Sonne," also names other children. The following are some of 
his children, the names of several being omitted here. 

Issue : 

i. William.* called in his father's will "Ould William," 

died in 1643 ; married Elizabetli and had 

a son William, baptized March 5. 161 1. who may 
possibly be the William who accompanied John 
Fuller to America on the ship Abigail in 1635. 
ii. William, called in his father's will "Younge William ;" 
died in 1611 ; married Nov. 25, 1581, Alice Linge. 
Among other children he had a son named Ralph 
(Rafe). born Nov. 8. 1584; died July 12, 1649; 
married Nov. 3. 1608. Elizabeth Eliot, and they had 
a child named John, baptized April 6. 1617, and 
another child named William, baptized Aug. 15, 
1609. It is barely possible that these were the 
William Fuller, aged twenty-five years, and John 
Fuller, aged fifteen years, who embarked on the 
ship Abigail in 1635 and went to Ipswich, Mass. 
Another child of Ralph and Elizabeth (Eliot) Fuller 
was Thomas Fuller, who emigrated to New Eng- 
land and settled in Dedham, Mass.

Fourth Generation, 



Roger* Fuller, {John,^ John,^ John^), born Oct. 19, 1572;

left a will, proved Aug., 1644. His will omits to mention some 
of his chidren. Even the parish registers do not show the bap- 
tism of some of his children. His son Giles Fuller was not men- 
tioned in his father's will, nor does his name appear on the parish 
registers, yet when Giles died in Hampton, N. H., in 1673, he 
was clearly shown in the probate court to be a son of Roger 
Fuller of Topcroft by the testimony of his brother-in-law, Mr. 
Thurston. "It is a remarkable fact." says Mr. Francis H. Fuller 
of Jamaica Plain, Mass., "that the death of this unregistered and, 
in the will of his father, unmentioned man Giles Fuller, was the 
sole means of accidentally disclosing the birthplace and ancestry 
of the Fuller family, which included in it so many persons prom- 
inent in the affairs of early New England and to which family 
belonged the historic Dr. Samuel Fuller." The children of Roger 
Fuller were (among others) as follows, some being here omitted: 
Issue : 

i. Elizabeth'^, who married her cousin, a John Fuller, 

son perhaps of Ralph Fuller, 
ii. Giles, who died at Hampton, N. H., 1673. His name 
does not appear in the parish registers, nor is he 
mentioned in his father's will, 
iii. Susanna, married Mr. Thurston. 

iv. William, baptized Dec. 14, 161 1. Is mentioned in his 
father's will. Went to New England in company 
(as is generally believed) with John Fuller on the 
ship Abigail in' May, 1635^. He settled in Hampton, 
N. H., and in 1681 made an affidavit in which he 
stated that he came to Hampton from Ipswich, 
Mass., and that he had a brother John. 
5 V. John, born — ; died in Ipswich, Mass., June 4, 1666; 

married in Ipswich Elizabeth Emerson. I place his 
name here as a son of Roger because of the affidavit 
of William Fuller made at Hampton in 1681, and 
also for the reason given by Mr. Edward F. Everett 
which I have quoted above herein on page 503. 
The name of John does not appear in the will of 
Roger Fuller, nor does the parish register show the 
baptism of any son of Roger named John. The 
same, however, was true of Roger's son, Giles.

In his will John Fuller provided that his son James was to have

it may be that the failure of Roger Fuller to mention some of his 
children in his will was relied upon by John Fuller as a ground 
for the recovery of a share of the estate which Roger Fuller left.

EMERSON-KING 

Elizabeth Emerson, baptized June 14, 1623, at Bishop's, 
Stortford, County Herts, England, daughter of Thomas Emerson 
of Ipswich, Mass., 1638, married John Fuller, of Ipswich, and 
one of the children of this marriage, Elizabeth Fuller, married 
March 23, 1674, James King, the founder of the King family of 
Sufifield, Conn. Elizabeth Emerson forms, therefore, the con- 
necting link between the Emerson and King families. 

The great genius of Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the great- 
est thinkers and writers of America, and who was of the eighth 
generation of the Emerson family in this country, has shed a 
luster upon the name that will long endure. 

"Richardus fil. Emerici," from the writs of parliament of the 
thirteenth century (Bardsley, English Surnames, 2d Ed., 1875, 
p. 29) says Professor B. K. Emerson, is perhaps the earHest and, 
as it were, embryonic form of the name in England, and at a 
time when modern surnames were in a process of formation. It 
was the son of Emory, a patronymic introduced into England by 
the Normans, according to Bardsley, from the continent where 
as Americ, Emeric. Almeric, Almaric, Eimeric it had a wide and 
early use, and whence in its Italian form Amerigo, it has given 
a name to the New World. Emery's son became Emmerisson, 
Emmerson, and most widely, Emerson." Mr. Lower in his 
"Patronymica Brittannica" sajs : 

"Names derived from baptismal names (in the genitive case), 
i e., Emerson, genitive of Emary from Almeric, Amery, Emery, 
Amerigo, from Amalrich, meaning an exalted ruler (ric)." 

It is asserted however in Burke's Landed Gentry that the fam- 
ily of D' Amery came to England with the conqueror from Tours. 
In T129 Roger de Amar witnessed the charter of Oseny. About 
1 180 Ralph was Lord of Hamars in Normandy. In Leland's copy 
of the Roll of Battell Abbey (a list of the chief officers and com- 
panions of William, the Conqueror) occurs the name D'Amary. 
The Emersons in England seem to have sprung from that 
Aimeric. Archdeacon of Carlisle and Durham, 1196-1214, and 
high sheriff of Northumberland, 1214-1215, who was the nephew 
of Bishop Phillip of Poictou, Prince Bishop of Durham, 1195, and 
previously, dericum ct familiarem of Richard Coeur-de-Leon. 
Both the bishop and archdeacon had married before they took 
orders in the church. (The pedigree is given in Surtee's History 



EMERSON-KING. 5II 

of Durham, Vol. 4, p. 137). The Archdeacon Aimeric had a son, 
Emeric de Lidgate, and two grandchildren, Richard fil. Emeric 
and Emeric fil Emeric. This descent explains the long connec- 
tion of the Emersons with the bishopric of Durham, especially as 
parkers, foresters, and gatekeepers of the great park belonging to 
the bishopric. The early mention of the name in England has 
already been quoted — Richardus fil. Emerici (Richard Emerson) 
in the writs of parliament of the thirteenth century. 

The arms of the Emerson family were originally granted to 
Ralph (Ralf, Raffe, Rafe) Emerson of Foxton, in the Bishopric 
of Durham, England, in 1535, and are blazoned (according to 
Professor Benjamin Kendall Emerson) as follows: "Per fesse in- 
dented vert and or. a bend engrailed az. charged with three lions 
passant arg. crest : A demi-lion rampant vert, bezante, grasping 
a battle axe gules, headed arg." On the walls of the library of 
the New England Historic Genealogical Society. Boston, Mass., 
hangs a blazon of the Emerson arms in water colors, under the 
face of which is written : "The arms and crest above depicted 
were granted to Ralph Emerson of Foxton, in the county pala- 
tine of Durham, by Tho : Wall, Garter, Principal King of Arms. 
Ano. 26, Henry VIII. Ita testor: Rob. Dale, Faecialis Titulo 
SuflFolc. Colleg. Armor. Registrarij Deputatus. 25 Jany., 1709." 

I have extracted the foregoing information from the book of 
Professor B. K. Emerson, "The Ipswich Emersons," which con- 
tains a very full account of the English ancestry of the family 
and also a most complete genealogy of the descendants of Thomas 
Emerson, of Ipswich. Mass. I shall also take from his book the 
record of the Emersons given below, beginning with their Eng- 
lish ancestry and following down the American line to its con- 
nection with the King family.

DEVOTION - de VAUTION - KING 

Hannah Devotion, born in Suffield, Conn., April 24, 1716-, 
died in Suffield, March 4, 1805 ; married in Suffield, June 2, 1740, 
Captain Joseplr^ King (James,- William^) and from this union 
sprang many descendants, now forming an extensive branch of 
the King family. She descended from an ancient and noble fam- 
ily in France, La Barre de Vaution, de la Guessonniere, which is 
now said to be extinct in France. The last male of the Devotion 
family in the United States died recently, and with him the name 
here also has ceased. 

Harvey J. King, Esq., of Troy, N. Y., in his Genealogy of the 
New York Branch of the King Family of Suffield, Conn., has 
published some very interesting data concerning the de Vaution 
and Devotion family, which I take the liberty of reproducing 
here. 

French Ancestry. 

"Edward Devotion, born (of French Huguenot parentage) 
about 1621, joined the church at Brookline, Mass., March 16, 
1645. Mary, his wife, and his son Edward, were baptized Feb. 
25, 1649. We settled at Roxbury, Mass., where he died in 1685. 
When Mr. Harvey J. King compiled his Genealogy of the King 
Family of Suffield he had, as he says, "long been endeavoring 
to discover the genesis, in its present form, of the name of the 
Devotion family, but without success. As Edward Devotion, its 
first representative in America, was of French descent, it was 
evident that his name, so distinctively English in its orthography, 
must have undergone some transformation after he came to New 
England either in the spelling or by a modification of some kind. 
Such transformations were of frequent occurrence, not only 
among the early Dutch settlers in America but also among the 
French Huguenot refugees as shown by the early histories of 
New England. 

Governor Edward Winslow, himself a passenger on the May- 
flower, afterward Governor of Plymouth Colony, and its earliest 
historian, tells us of the Dutch, French and Walloon members of 
the church, how "their non-Anglican names were corrupted into 
English forms such as Cuthbertson for Godbertson, Delano for 
De la Noye," (Truax for Du Trieux, Bovie for Beaufils), etc. 

Many familiar names might be added, including Bowdoin, 



5l6 APPENDICES. 

changed from Baudoin and Sigourney from Sigournais. "The 
Sigoiirney family bore the name of a locality in the province of 
Poitou, where not improbably they may have originated." (See 
Baird's "The Huguenot Emigration to America." Vol. i, p. 282) 
Pertinent in this connection is the fact that Edward Devotion 
was of French Huguenot origin and came from the vicinity of 
La Rochelle. 

Miss Emma C. King, of Xenia. Ohio, who in 1895 travelled 
from Paris to La Rochelle for the sole purpose of obtaining in- 
formation relative to the ancestors of the Devotion family, kindly 
furnished to Mr. Harvey J. King as the result of her investiga- 
tion, transcripts from the official records which seem to leave no 
room for doubt that the name of Edivard Devotion, prior to his 
coming to New England, was written "de Vaution," and was 
then changed only by Anglicizing the spelling, the pronunciation 
remaining unchanged. The fact is worthy of mention that the 
transcripts in question were obtained through Louis M. M;schinet 
de Richemond, who is accredited in recent literature as "The 
learned Rochellese historian." They are supplemented by nume*-- 
ous references to historical data relative to the family contained 
in "Archives Nationale" and "La France Protestante." 

From the transcripts, which include seyeral branches of the 
family, we copy only the following as sufficient for our present 
purpo.«;e : 

De la Barre. de la Guessonniere, de Vaution. 

This family is a native of La Beance. It produced several 
branches, one of which was located in Poitou at the end of the 
fifteenth century ; from this latter sprang several small branches, 
all of which seem now to be extinct in France. We take ;:he 
verified filiation in volume 15 of Cherin, in the National Library 
at Paris. Department of Manuscripts. This family belong to the 
Reformed church before 1585.

"First Branch de \^\ution, de la Guessonniere" 

I. Jean de la Barre, Esquire, Lord of Vaubernard (native 
of Dourdan, diocese of Chartres). was the younger son of Jean, 
lord de Rinville, and of Marie de Mazis. He was an Archer 
of the Guard of the King. Fie married at the Venerie de Couhe,

on Oct. 12, 1492, Jeanne Poispaille (or Poupaille), daughter of 
Peter, Esquire and of Roberta d'Amaury. (She received for 
her marriage portion the fief of Bakit, Champagne St. Hilaire). 
From that marriage were born: ist Jacques .(who follows) 
2d Louis, etc. (Several others are named and their marriages 
stated in detail). 

2. Jacques de la Barre, Esquire, lord de Valenfray^ (above 
named). He married April 12, 1527, Nicole, daughter of 
Magdelon Mallevault, Esquire, from which marriage were born : 
ist Francois (who follows) ; 2d Louis, etc. (Several others are 
named and their marriages stated in detail). 

3. Francois de la Barre, Esquire, lord de la Barre et de 
Vaution (above named). He obtained a judicial confirmation 
of his nobility in 1584, and again in 1598, upon exhibiting his 
titles tracing back as far as 1492. He had married on Oct. 24, 
1578, Marie Landry, daughter of late Esquire, lord de Sault, 
and of Junienne de Puyvert. By this marriage he had: ist 
Pierre, etc. (several others are named). 

4. Pierre de la Barre, Esquire, lord de Vaution. Bois de 
Luc he. (named Monsieur de VAUTION.) He was twice mar- 
ried. First on July 4, 1607, with Louise Blanchard, daughter 
of Rene, lord de Bonout, and of Anne de Beaumont, and second 
on July 30, 1617, with Judith de Pellard, daughter of Nachor, 
Esquire, lord de Montigny, La Guessonniere, and of Judith du 
Petit Croix. 

"It does not appear that any children were born of the first 
marriage. By the second marriage he had ist, Jean; 2d, Anne; 
3d, Catharine ; 4th, Pierre, Esquire, lord de Vaution, etc." 

Further transcripts exhibit the pedigree of branches of the 
family, located at Poitou, Anjou and La Touraine, and state that 
"All were of the Reformed Religion." 

History informs us that more than 500,000 adherents of the 
"Reformed Religion" became refugees from France to escape 
the persecutions, or worse, to which all such were subjected 
during the greater part of the seventeenth century. Most of 
them settled in England, Holland and other European states, 
but we are told that many "departed for North America, and as 
early as 1625 several Huguenot families settled in New York 
City, then New Amsterdam. Others founded New Rochelle. 
Those who fled to Massachusetts were settled in Oxford, Wor- 
cester County, but soon after removed to Boston." (See Amer- 
ican Cyclopedia, title "Huguenots." Also Baird's "The Hugue- 
not Emigration to America.") 



5l8 APPENDICES. 

Supplementing- the foregoing- data, and equally a matter ofj 
history, is the significant fact that Edward Devotion, a French 
Huguenot, and the founder of a New England family, settled in 
Brookline, which was then a part of Boston, in or prior to thej 
year 1645, as is evidenced by the public records and also those] 
of the Church. While the statistics thus collected do not furnish 
the connecting link between the pedigrees of Edward Devotion 
and the de Vaution families referred to, the identity of the 
names seems to be fairly demonstrated and that they were of 
one and the same lineage is certainly rendered extremely probable. 

In this connection it is interesting to notice the fact that 
not only has the de Vaution family become extinct in France 
as above stated by M. Louis M. Meschinet de Richemond, but 
while there are now living many lineal descendants of Edward 
Devotion who bear the names of those who became the husbands! 
of daughters who inherited it, not one male descendant bearing 
his name is now living to perpetuate it and it must soon become 
extinct. The late John L. Devotion of Norwich. Conn., was the 
last male representative of the name. His widow and daughters 
now (1898) reside in the City of New York. 

As a well deserved tribute to the memory of six generations 
who inherited the name of Edward Devotion — a name which 
soon will only survive as a memory — it may fittingly be added 
that many of the sons who bore it were prominent in their day 
and generation in the legal profession, the judiciary and the 
pulpit, and of the daughters several became the wives or mothers 
of men distinguished as statesmen, jurists and educators. Promi- 
ment among them were two daughters of Rev. Ebenezer 
Devotion (1714-1771), Martha who in T761 became the wife of 
Samuel Huntingdon, afterwards Governor of Connecticut and 
President of the Continental Congress, and Hannah, who in 1764 
became the wife of Rev. Joseph Huntington and later the mother 
of Samuel Huntington, 'Governor of Ohio, and of Frances the 
wife of Rev. Dr. Griffin, President of Williams College. 

A complete genealogy of the Devotion family would be of 
much interest but none has been printed. The most compre- 
hensive of any in ])rint is contained in "Publication No. 14" of the 
Rrookline Publication Society, and was compiled by Mrs. Susan 
V. Griggs, of Rrookline, Mass. 

"The Old Devotion House." 
[From Historical Sketches of Brookline by H. F. Woods.] 
"Next west of the Sewall estate (on Harvard Street) is situ- 



DEVOTION-DE VAUTION-KING. 519 

ated what has been in modern times known as the Babcock 
farm, but in Judge Sewall's day was the property of John 
Devotion." 

John Devotion was a ])rominent citizen in Muddy River, hold- 
ing various ofifices, and his name appears upon the petition for a 
separate township. 

Ebenezer Devotion, a son of John, became a clergyman and 
removed to Sutifield, Connecticut. After the death of John 
Devotion, the house was occupied by his son Edward and Mary 
liis wife. Edward Devotion was a ])ubhc spirited citizen, and 
reference to the old records of the town show that he held vari- 
ous offices of trust for many years. 

The house is a curious old relic of former times and the 
beautiful elms which shade it were no doubt set out by the hands 
of the ancient owner, whose devotion to the interests of his 
church and town suggests the idea that a similar characteristic 
in his ancestry may have earned for the family its very uncom- 
mon name. 

The town of IJrookline has built u])on adjoining land a fine 
primary and kindergarten school, known as "The Edward Devo- 
tion School" and it owns the old house. The town is soon to 
build a grammar school on the site, and "The Isaac Gardner 
Chapter, D. A. R." is to present a petition to the town to save 
the old house and to remove it to a jiosition nearby.

REMINGTON-KING 

Mary Remington, born July 12, 1743; died June 24, 1788, 
and Lieutenant Eliphalet King, born February 6, 1743, died 
August 29, 1 82 1, my patriot great-grandsire who fought at Bun- 
ker Hill and in other battles during the war of the Revolution, 
were married at Suffield, Connecticut, Nov. 3, 1768. She was 
therefore a maternal ancestor in America of the King family 
of Suffield in my own direct line. Mary (Remington) King 
was the great, great grand-daughter of Lieutenant John Reming- 
ton of Newbury, Mass., 1673. He belonged, it is said, to a 
younger branch of a very ancient family in County York, Eng- 
land. It is claimed that Beatrix de Remington, Lady Prioress 
of the Benedictine Convent of Clementhorpe, County York, 
England, in 1396, was one of the early members of the same 
family. The Yorkshire visitation in 1665 found that the family 
had at that time (1665) resided there for six continuous genera- 
tions. The Remington family, consisting of several branches, 
still continue to reside in York and Lancaster Counties, England. 
The arms borne by the Remingtons of Lund, County York, and 
the Remingtons of Crow Trees, Melling, County Lancaster, are 
blazoned as follows : "Barry of twelve Arg. and Az. a bend 
gules. Crest : A hand erect holding a broken tilting spear 
all ppr." The family of Broomhead Hall, Sheffield, County York, 
bear a modification of these arms which consists of a "barry of 
ten" instead of a "barry of twelve." I have been unable however 
to obtain any authentic data showing the relationship between 
those English families and our American Remingtons. 

JoHN^ Remington, the first ancestor in America, came from 
Yorkshire, England, with his wife Elizabeth and son Thomas, 
and settled at Newbury, Mass., in 1637, and became a freeman 
there May 22, 1638. He removed to Rowley and on May 13, 
1643, was commissioned a Lieutenant of a military company at 
that place. He subsequently removed to Roxbury, and recon- 
structed its meeting house in 1658. He became a proprietor 
there also and is mentioned in the records of the town as "late 
inhabitant of Rowley now of Roxbury." He sold lands there 
in 1659 and 1662. His wife Elizabeth died at Rowley October 
24, 1658, and he married (2d) Rhoda, widow of John Gore, who 
survived him and married (3d) Edward Porter. Lieut. John 



REMINGTON-KING. 523 

Remington had a son, John, who was a carpenter and a pro- 
prietor at Rowley, 1652, and had a very large family. It is some- 
times difficult to separate on the records the two sets of children, 
and the dates of their respective births, especially as some of 
the Christian names are the same in each family. Lieut. John 
Remington died June 8, 1667, and administration on his estate 
was granted to his son Jonathan, who resided at Cambridge, and 
to John Stedman. 

Jonathan- Remington, the son of Lieut. John Remington, 
was born at Newbury, Mass., Feb. 12, 1639; settled at Cam- 
bridge and married Martha Belcher, daughter of Andrew Bel- 
cher, July 13, 1664. He was quite prominent in public life and 
especially in military affairs. He was in command of a military 
company during the winter and spring 1675-6, and was very 
active in the later Indian War in 1689 at Groton, and in 1691 
at Wells, and in the Eastern parts. He served with the Cam- 
bridge men under Capt. Davenport in the Narraganset Cam- 
paign, King Philip's War, and was in the great Swamp Fight 
where King Philip was killed. In the winter following, he was 
active in the command and supply of some of the garrisons in 
the interior towns. (See New Eng. Hist. & Gen. Register, Vol. 
42, p. 96, and Vol. 8, pp. 317-320.) From 1682 until his death 
on April 21, 1700, he was the proprietor of the original "Blue 
Anchor Tavern" at Cambridge. He was Selectman, Town Clerk 
and Treasurer. He left a large family among whom was a son 
Jonathan, born July 27, 1677, graduated from Harvard 1696, 
and was a professor there in 1703-1707. (New Eng. Hist. & 
Gen. Register, Vol. 46, pp. 5-6, Vol. 8, pp. 317-320.) He was 
afterward Judge of the Probate Court for a period of more than 
forty years and was very highly esteemed for his learning, ability 
and high character. Up to the year 1798, there had been five 
of the Remington family graduated at Harvard and one at Yale.

ADAMS-KING 

IcHABOD* King (Capt. Joseph,^ James,' William^), born in 
Suffield, Conn., May 14, 1756; died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 18, 
1834; married in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 27, 1778, Lovisa Adams, 
a sketch of whose pedigree will prove of interest at least to their 
numerous descendants now living. She was born in Suffield, 
Conn., Dec. 20, 1759, and died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 31, 1834. 

Lovisa Adams King's immediate ancestors for three genera- 
tions — parents, grandparents, and great grandparents — were born 
in New England. Many of her ancestors of the generation 
that immigrated to America are known to have been English, 
and it is highly probable that all save one were, and quite pos- 
sible that even that one was also English. It is known further 
that all of these immigrants save four reached New England 
prior to 1645 ; and that none of them came later than 1661, more 
likely not that late. The preceding charts exhibit in concise form 
the ancestry of both the father and the mother of Lovisa Adams. 

The father of Lovisa Adams King was Freegrace Adams, 
born in Suffield, Conn.. Nov. 14. 1723 ; died in Marlboro, Vt., 
Aug., 1815 ; married in Suffield, Conn., April 4, 1753, Anna Kent. 

"Freegrace Adams was induced against his wishes by his step- 
mother to sign a note for her son, his half-brother Samuel, the 
mother's favorite. Samuel failed, and Freegrace was obliged 
to give up one-half his Suffield farm. He accordingly decided 
to go to Marlboro, Vt., in 1774, when his daughter Lovisa was 
fourteen years old. Freegrace died when he was ninety-two 
years old. His wife, Anna (Kent) Adams, died in 1807, when 
she was seventy-seven years old. She could read fine print 
without glasses when she died." 

The Marlboro manuscript history (kept in Montpelier, Vt.), 
states that Freegrace Adams "came to Marlboro about 1773 
and settled on the well known Freegrace Adams farm, now 
owned by Almerin Ames." 

The father of Freegrace Adams, Lieut. Abraham Adams, was 
born in Suffield, Conn.. Nov. 10, 1687; died in Suffield Feb. 12, 
1769; married in Suffield, April 7, 1713, Joanna Norton. "Lieut. 
Abraham" of Suffield was one of a Committee, 1745. to decide 
the location of the meeting house in Wilbraham, Mass., and 
was awarded £4 for his services. "The father of Lieut. Abraham 



ADAMS-KING. 529 

Adams was Hon. Jacob Adams, born in Newbury, Mass., Sept. 

13, 1651 ; died in Boston, Mass., Nov. , 1717; married April 

7, 1677, Anna Allen and had lived at Newbury, Mass., but moved 
probably about 168 1-2 to Suffield, where he was one of the 
most prominent and influential of the early settlers. Hon. Jacob 
Adams was often chosen to important offices, was a member of 
the General Court of the colony, then held in Boston, 171 1 to 
1714, and again in 1717. He died in Boston, suddenly, in Nov., 
1717, while in attendance upon his duties as a member of the 
General Court from Suffield. He acquired a large property, 
'and was greatly esteemed. His will, dated Nov. 20, 1717, is 
recorded both in Boston, and at Northampton, which was the 
county seat of Hampshire County — to which Suffield then be- 
longed." (Robert Adams Gen.) 

Jacob Adams was the son of Robert Adams. "Born in Eng. 
in 1602, Robert Adams came first to Ipswich in Massachusetts 
Bay in A. D. 1635, bringing with him his wife Eleanor (Wil- 
mot?) and his first two children. He resided in Salem in 1638-9 
and removed to Newbury in 1640, where he acquired a large 
farm and valuable property, and died there Oct. 12, 1682; his 
wife Eleanor having died there June 12, 1677. 

The wife of Hon. Jacob Adams was x^nna Allen, born Jan. 3, 
1658. Sheldon's "History of Suffield, Conn." gives the name of 
Jacob Adams' wife as Anne Allyn, and states that she was the 
daughter of Edward Allyn, who, according to tradition, came 
from Scotland in 1636, had been a soldier under Cromwell, had 
a farm granted him at Dedham, Mass., 1649, had a farm 
at Ipswich, 1670, and removed with his family to Suffield 
about 1679. He married Mary Kimball. (Savage states that 
the wife of this Edward "Allen" was Sarah.) But the record 
of the children of this Edward Allyn or Allen gives no daughter 
Anne, no daughter of any name who married an Adams, and the 
dates of marriage of the three oldest daughters were from four 
to seventeen years later than the birth of Jacob Adams's oldest 
child. There seems therefore practically no doubt but that 
Savage and the Robert Adams Gen. are correct in stating that 
Jacob Adams's wife was the daughter of Nicholas Allen of Dor- 
chester, Mass., born about 1616; died 1667-8. The surname of 
Nicholas Allen was also spelled Ellen and Ellin (perhaps usually 
so in his lifetime), but apparently settled into Allen with his 
descendants. Pope, in "Pioneers of Mass.," finds that he is 
mentioned in connection with court proceedings in 1639, was a 
Dorchester proprietor Feb. 2, 1646, deposed in 1656 when he was 
aged about forty years, that his first wife was Martha, who died 



530 APPENDICES. 

Sept. 17, 1660, that his daughter Ann was born in 1657, and 
that his will was dated 1667 and probated in 1668. The Dor- 
chester town records also state that the daughter Ann "was Born 
the 3:11:1657," and the church records that she was baptized 
"9 (3) 58," but Savage and the Adams Gen. give the date of her 
birth as Jan. 3, 1658. There is nothing to prove that Martha 
Allen, mother of Anna (or Ann) Allen Adams, came to America 
prior to 1645, and hence she is one of the four ancestors of 
Lovisa Adams King not included among those known to have 
reached this country prior to that date. The birth of her daughter 
Ann shows of course that she was in New England by 1657 
at the latest. 

Joanna Norton, born in Sufifield, Conn., March 17, 1693; died 
in Sufifield, Sept. 3, 1726; the wife of Lieut. Abraham Adams 
and mother of Freegrace Adams, was the daughter of Captain 
George Norton, born in Salem, Mass., March 28, 1641 ; died in 
Suffield, Nov. 15, 1696; married June 20, 1683, Mary Barber 
Gillett (his second wife). He was an early Sufifield, Conn., 
settler. ''He was a freeman in 1681, innkeeper, selectman, cap- 
tain and a prominent man in the town. He was the first repre- 
sentative to the General Court at Boston from Sufifield, 1693, 
and was excused from attending another session on account of 
the poverty of the town." (Sheldon's Sufifield Hist.) Captain 
George Norton was the son of George and Mary Norton. 
George Norton, Sr., Savage says, "was probably that carpenter 4 
who came in the fleet with Higginson, April, 1629, from * 
London, freeman May 14, 1634." He removed from Salem, 
Mass., to Gloucester, where he was a selectman in 1642-3, and 
representative, 1642-44. Removed again, perhaps for a short 
time, to Ipswich, Isut soon to Wenham where he died in 1659. 
According to "Fifty Puritan Ancestors," by Elizabeth Todd Nash, 
George Norton, Sr., was born in 1606. the son of Thomas and 
Grace Norton, who were married in Ockley, Surrey, England, 
where their marriage record can still be seen ; and Thomas was 
the son of William and Dencia (Chelmesby) Norton, of Ockley, 
England, and grandson of Richard and Margery (Wingar) 
Norton, of Sharpenhow, England. Further, according to this 
account, Thomas Norton was born in England in 1582, was 
warden of Mr. Whitfield's church at Ockley, and came with 
him to America, being one of the Covenanters on shipboard who 
signed the Covenant, June, 1639. He was the miller in Guilford, 
Conn., from 1646 until his death in Aug., 1648. His wife sur- 
vived him. 

The mother of Joanna Norton Adams was Mary (sometimes 



ADAMS-KING. 53I 

given Mercy) Barber, born in Windsor, Conn., Oct. 12, 1651; 
died in Suffield, Conn., Dec. 31, 1725, who first married John 
Gillett, and second, married June 20, 1683, Captain George 
Norton. Mary Barber Gillett Norton's father was Thomas Bar- 
ber, of Windsor, Conn., born in England about 1614, who sailed 
from London for New England in the ship Christian in 1634, 
when he was twenty-one years old. He resided probably at 
Dorchester, Mass., first, but in 1635 was granted a lot eight 
acres and twenty-two rods wide, in Windsor, Conn. "In 1637 
the name of Thomas Barber is found enrolled under Major 
Stoughton as Sergeant, and he participated in several battles 
with the Pequot tribe of Indians. Subsequently under John 
Mason, he greatly distinguished himself in the attack made upon 
the Pequot fort, which the Indians had deemed impregnable. 

On Oct. 7, 1640, at Windsor, Conn., "he married Joan or Jane. 
Her surname does not appear in the church records of Windsor, 
but a number of the authorities lead to the conclusion that she 
was the daughter of one of the Dutch settlers at Saybrook, as 
some others of the Colonists married into their families. One 
authority says : "The wife of, or she who became the wife of 
Thomas Barber, was the first white woman to land in Con- 
necticut." (Carlisle.) So far as known, this is the only sug- 
gestion of any but an English birth for any of the American 
immigrating ancestors of Lovisa Adams King. Thomas Barber 
was taught the trade of carpenter. "He was lieutenant of the 
first military company of Simsbury, Conn." (Howe's Gen. of the 
Barber-Eno Family.) Thomas Barber's descendants "have many 
of them been men of wealth and influence in Conn." (Hinman's 
Early Puritan Settlers of Conn.) According to the "Barber-Eno 
Family" both Thomas Barber and his wife died in 1662. 

Anna Kent Adams, mother of Lovisa Adams King, like her 
husband Freegrace Adams, was born and reared in Suffield, 
Conn. She was born Oct. 2, 1730; died in Marlboro, Vt., Sept. 
8, 1807; married in Suffield, Conn., April 4, 1753, Freegrace 
Adams. 

Her brother was Capt. Elihu Kent, who when news of the 
battle of Lexington reached Suffield and within an hour's notice 
was at the head of a Suffield company of 59 men rushing for 
Springfield, where they took supper and pressed on at once. 
This Capt. Elihu Kent became a major and his son. Colonel 
Elihu Kent was in the Revolutionary Army with his father, and 
was captured by the British on Long Island and confined for 
a long time as a prisoner of war in the old Sugar House in New 
York, where he suffered greatly.

Samuel Kent, born in Sufifield Dec. 14, 1698, died in Suffield 
Oct. 28, 1772; married in Suffield (i) Feb. 28, 1722, Abiah 
Dwight and was the father of Anna Kent Adams. He lived all 
his life in Suffield. His father, John Kent, was born in Glouces- 
ter, Mass., April 28, 1664; died in Suffield April 11, 1721 ; mar- 
ried in Suffield May 9, 1686, Abigail Dudley. "John Kent's 
descendants have been eminent. Chancellor Kent was a great 
grandson." "Sergeant Samuel Kent, the father of John Kent, 
was settled at Suffield in 1678. He was one of the first board 
of Selectmen in Suffield and was re-appointed for many years. 
His home lot in Suffield and his son Samuel's are now the 
Institute Grounds." He married Jany. 17, 1654, Frances Wood- 
all and died in Springfield, Mass., Feb. 2, 1691. Sergeant Samuel 
was the son of Thomas Kent who was born in England and came 
to this country with his wife and older children. Thomas was 
a proprietor of Gloucester, Mass., in 1643. He died May i, 
1658. He was a yeoman. 

Frances Woodall became the wife of Sergeant Samuel Kent 
in January, 1654, the earliest date at which her name is mentioned 
in New England so far as known. She is, therefore, one of the 
four ancestors of Lovisa Adams King the date of whose coming 
to America is not known to have been prior to 1645. She died 
in Suffield Aug. 10, 1683. 

Abigail Dudley, born May 24, 1667, the wife of John Kent, 
was the daughter of Deacon William and Mary (Roe) Dudley; 
and the grand-daughter of William and Jane (Lutman) Dudley, 
who were married at Ockley, Surrey, Eng., Aug. 24, 1636, and 
in 1639 came to New England, "probably as friends of Rev. 
Henry Whitfield." William Dudley, Sr., was born at Richmond, 
Eng., and died in Guilford, Conn., March 16, 1684. He was a 
representative to the General Court for Guilford, Conn., and held 
other offices. His wife Jane (Lutman) Dudley died in Guilford 
May I, 1674. His son. Deacon William Dudley, born at sea 
June 8, 1639, moved to Saybrook. Conn., in 1670, where he was 
a deacon, a representative to the General Court for many years, 

and commissioner several years. He died there May , 1701. 

(Dudley Gen., 1898.) He married, Nov. 4, 1661, Mary Roe 
Dudley the daughter of Hugh and Abigail Roe. 

Hugh Roe is first mentioned in Hartford in 1661, the year 
his daughter married William Dudley, but according to Savage 
he had first lived in Weymouth, Mass. This earlier residence 
in Weymouth makes it probable that he and his wife had reached 
America prior to 1661, but if not, they came later than any other 
ancestor of Lovisa Adams King, — the four not known to have 



ADAMS-KING. 533 

come before 1645 being Frances Woodall Kent, 1654; Martha 
Allen, 1657; Hugh and Abigail Roe, 1661. Savage states that 
Hugh Roe removed from Hartford, perhaps to Salem, but in 
1669, was on the freeman list of Conn., and before 1678 was at 
Suffield, Conn. Hugh Roe died there Aug. 5, 1689, and his 
wife Abigail died there Sept. 3, 1689. Pope says, under the 
surname "Row, Rowe, Roe, Rowes," that Edward of Gloucester 
was a proprietor in 1650, and that Hugh and John "(his sons?)" 
made agreement in 1662. And that Elenor, widow, was an ad- 
ministrator in Boston in 1643. 

Abiah Dwight, born in Northampton, Mass., Feb. 17, 1704; 
died in Sufifield Feb. 23, 1748, the wife of Samuel Kent and 
mother of Anna Kent Adams, was probably born in Northamp- 
ton, Mass., where her father, Justice Nathaniel Dwight, was 
living at the time of her birth. Justice Nathaniel Dwight, born 
in Dedham, Mass., Nov. 20, 1666, "was a trader and farmer and 
justice of the peace and surveyor of land on a large scale. He 
married Dec. 9, 1693, Mehitable Partridge. He was decidedly 
religious, like his father and grandfather and most of his many 
descendants. He died at West Springfield, Mass., Nov. 7, 171 1, 
when there on business, as is believed, and was buried there. 
It is the oldest grave in the old burying ground of that place. 
His real estate was appraised at £885. 

Justice Nathaniel Dwight was the son of Captain Timothy 
Dwight who was born in England in 1629; died in Dedham, 
Mass., Jany. 31, 1718; married New England Jany. 9, 1665, Anna 
Flynt (his third wife). Capt. Timothy Dwight "was made free- 
man in 1655; for ten years town clerk; selectman from 1664 
to 89 ; a representative of the town in the General Court 1691-2 
and perhaps later. The church records describe him thus : 
'Timothy Dwight, Esq., a gentleman truly serious and godly, 
one of an excellent spirit, peaceable, generous, charitable, and a 
great promoter of the true interests of the church and town.*^ 
Was cornet of a troop in his younger years, afterwards a cap- 
tain of foot ; went out ten times against the Indians, nine of 
whom he killed or took prisoner. In the cemetery at Dedham is 
to be found his tomb. It is a vault with an arched entrance 
and is covered over with turf." (Dwight Gen.) 

John Dwight, the immigrant father of Capt. Timothy Dwight, 
"came in the latter part of 1634 or beginning of 1635, from 
Dedham, England, to America. He had sat under the preaching 
of the celebrated minister, John Rogers of Dedham, Eng. John 
Dwight came 'to found a church without a bishop, and a govern- 
ment without a king.' He first settled at Watertown, Mass.,. 



534 APPENDICES. 

but stayed there but a short time. The Dedham, Mass., records 
began Sept. i, 1635, on the day when the first town meeting 
was held. Of the twelve persons assembled together at the 
time, John Dwight was one. He was one of the twelve men to 
whom in 1635, the General Court granted a tract of land (Ded- 
ham) south of Charles River. John Dwight brought with him 
from England his wife Hannah (whose family name is un- 
known)," and three children. "He brought with him it is said, 
a valuable estate, and was a wealthy farmer in Dedham, Mass., 
and eminently useful as a citizen and a Christian in the town. 
He is described in the town records of Dedham as 'having been 
publicly useful' and 'a great peacemaker.' He was selectman for 
sixteen years. His will describes him as 'yeoman'" (Dwight 
Gen.). He died at Dedham, Mass., Jany. 24, 1660. Since the 
publishing of the Dwight Gen. (1874) it has been stated that the 
maiden name of Hannah Dwight, wife of John, was Close. She 
died at Dedham, Mass., Sept. 5, 1656. Captain Timothy Dwight 
married six times, but his third wife, Anna Flynt, was the only one 
who had grandchildren. Anna Flynt was born in Massachusetts 
Sept. II. 1643; died in Dedham, Mass., Jany. 29, 1686; was the 
daughter of Rev. Henry Flynt, who came to America in 1635, and 
was ordained at Braintree (now Quincy), Mass., in 1639, where 
he died April 27, 1668. His brother. Rev. Thomas Flynt, went 
to Concord, Mass., from Matlock, Derbyshire, England, in 1637. 
The New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Register of July, 1902, states that 
they were probably the sons of Thomas Flynt, of Matlock, Derby, 1 
yeoman, who died in 1623, and Dorothy (Wood), his wife. "Rev. 1 
Henry in the great Antinomian controversy of those days, favored 
'the new views,' agreeing warmly with Cotton and not with 
Wheelwright. Rev. Henry Flynt married Margery Hoar, who 
was born in England and died in Braintree, Mass., March 10, 
1687. She was the sister of President Hoar, of Harvard College 
(1672-5), who married a daughter of Lord Lisle (and of Lady 
Alicia Lyle, noted in English history, one of the earliest victims 
.-of the infamous Chief Justice Jeffries in the time of James H.). 
The following is the inscription on the tombstone of Rev. Henry 
Flynt:— "Here Lyes interred ye Body of ye Rev'd Mr. Henry 
Flynt, who came to new England in ye year 1635, was Ordained 
ye first Teacher of ye Church of Braintree, 1639, and died April 
27th, 1668. He had ye Character of a Gentleman Remarkable for 
his Piety, Learning, Wisdom, and Fidelity in his Office. By him 
on his right hand lyes the Body of Margery, his beloved consort. 
Died March, 1686-7, her maiden name was Hoar. She was a 
Gentlewoman of Piety, Prudence, peculiarly accomplished for 



ADAMS-KING. 535 

instructing young Gentlewomen, many being sent to her from 
other Towns, especially from Boston. They descended from 
antient and good families in England." 

Margery Hoar Flynt was the daughter of Charles and Joanna 
(Hincksman) Hoare (as then spelled), and the granddaughter 
of Charles and Margery Hoare. Charles Hoare, Sr., of Glouces- 
ter City, England, is mentioned in 1588. In Aug., 1608, he was 
about forty years of age, and somewhat short of stature. His will 
is dated 29th of May, 1632, and mentions "his beloved wife Mar- 
gery." He was a sadler. Charles Hoare, the son, was also of 
Gloucester, England, where he died in the fall of 1638. He was 
an alderman from 1632 to 1638; a sheriff in 1634. On the Glouces- 
ter council minutes he was called "gentleman" or "generosus." 
He was a brewer. He married Joana Hincksman, whose "family 
was prosperous and highly esteemed in Gloucester." Joanna 
Hincksman Hoar came to New England with four or five of her 
children, Margery being one of them, about 1640, and died at 
Braintree, Mass., Dec. 21, 1661. The late United States Senator 
George Frisbie Hoar brought home with him from Gloucester, 
England, "a black oak door that had hung for 300 years on its 
hinges in the house on Longsmith street, Gloucester, where lived 
Charles Hoar, Xhe direct ancestor of the family." 

The statement that Anna Flynt Dwight was the davighter of 
Rev. Henry Flynt is given on the authority of "The History of 
the Descendants of John Dwight, of Dedham, Mass., by Benja- 
min W. Dwight;" of two writers to the Boston, Mass., "Trans- 
cript," January, 1907. and of Savage under the name of "Dwight," 
who there states that Timothy Dwight's third wife was "Ann 
Flint, daughter of Henry, whom he married 9 Jany., 1665, who 
died 29 Jany., 1685." The Dedham records give the following: — 
"1664 — Tym. Dwight, & Ana Flint was married 9, 11, 1664." 
But the Braintree records state that "John Dassitt and Hanna 
Fflynt were married the 9th, mo. 15, 1662, by Major Willard," 
and there has been some confusion as to whether or no this 
"Hanna Fflynt" was Anna, daughter of Rev. Henry, and, if so, 
whether John Dassitt died and Anna then married Timothy 
Dwight. Savage, under the name "Dassett," states that "John, 
Braintree, married 15 Sept. 1662, Hannah, daughter of Thomas 
Flynt, of Concord, as one report is, tho. I think a better is, 15 
Nov. as the town rec. to Ann, daughter of Rev. Henry Flynt," 
and concludes, "His widow perhaps married Timothy Dwight." 
This though John Dassett seems to have lived later than 1664. 
Pope, after recording the birth of Anna, daughter of Rev. Henry 
Flynt, in parenthesis notes the marriage of Hannah to John Das- 



536 APPENDICES. 

sett. The New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Register of April, 1899, p. 
189, states that Anna, daughter of Rev. Henry, "married John 
Dassett, 1662." That the "Hanna Fflynt" who married John 
Dassett was not Rev. Henry's daughter Anna, but might well 
have been his niece, daughter of Rev. Thomas, of Concord, ac- 
cording to the report referred to by Savage, seems considerably 
confirmed not only by the differences in the names Hannah and 
Anna, but also by the names of the children of John and Hannah 
Fflynt Dassett and of Timothy and Ana Flynt Dwight. The 
Dassitt children were John, Joseph, Mary and Sarah. By a 
former wife, Timothy Dwight had children, Timothy, John and 
Sarah. The first child by Ana Flynt was Josiah, the name of 
Rev. Henry Flynt's oldest son (mentioned in his will), who was 
less than two years younger than the daughter Anna. Josiah 
Dwight died soon and the fourth child was also named Josiah. 
Rev. Henry's only other son who lived beyond infancy and to 
maturity was Seth, and Anna Flynt Dwight's fifth child was 
named Seth, her sixth (the only daughter), Anna, and her 
seventh Henry. (Henry was Anna's son if Savage was correct, 
as there are reasons for thinking he was, in believing that the 
Dedham record of "Anna, deceased 15, 8; 75" referred to 
Timothy and Ana Flynt Dwight's two months' old daughter 
Anna.) It is of course possible that Rev. Henry Flynt had a 
daughter Hannah and a daughter Anna, as had one of Anna 
Flynt Dwight's descendants. 

The wife of Justice Nathaniel Dwight, and mo.ther of Abiah 
Dwight Kent, was Mehitable Partridge, born Aug. 26, 1675 ; died 
in Northampton, Mass., Oct. 19, 1756, who "lived in widowhood 
for 45 years at Northampton, where her grave may be readily 
seen. She did not join the church until 1736." Her father, 
Colonel Samuel Partridge, (born in Hartford, Conn., Oct. 15, 
1645; died in Hatfield, Mass., Dec. 25, 1740), "was a merchant, 
and from 1692 to 1740 judge of the Court of Common Pleas, 
being from 1706 to 1736 its chief justice. He was also probate 
judge, and in 1685-6 represented the town, and was colonel of a 
regiment, and one of his Majesty's Council. After Colonel 
Pynchon's death he was 'the most important man in all the west- 
em part of the province.' He had ample wealth, and was one 
of 'the three Connecticut river gods,' as they were commonly de- 
nominated, the other two being John Pynchon, of Springfield, 
and Colonel John Stoddard, of Northampton. Colonel Partridge 
removed from Hadley to Hatfield in 1687." (Dwight Gen.). He 
married Sept. 24, 1668, Mehitable Crow. His father was William 
Partridge, who came from Berwick-upon-Tweed, England, and 



i 



ADAMS-KING. 537 

was one of the earliest settlers of Hartford, Conn., where he 
married, Dec. 12, 1644, Mary Smith (born about 1625; died July 
20, 1680), of Hartford, sister of Christopher of Northampton, 
Joseph of Hartford, and Simeon and William. William and 
Mary (Smith) Partridge removed to Hadley, Mass., where he 
was a trader, in 1659. He died there June 27, 1668. He wrote 
his name Partrigg. 

The wife of Col. Samuel Partridge was Mehitable Crow (born 
in New England about 1652; died Dec. 8, 1730) daughter of 
John and Elizabeth (Goodwin) Crow. "Jo^" Crow born in Eng- 
land was one of the earliest and best of the settlers of Hartford, 
Conn., being there as early as 1637-8. His wife, Elizabeth Good- 
win, was the only child of Elder William Goodwin, one of the first 
settlers of Hartford, Conn., from Essex, England, and a large 
landholder. William Goodwin and John Crow settled, with 
others, in 1659, the town of Hadley. On Mr. Goodwin's death, 
March 11, 1673, ^^^ large estate fell into the hands of Mr. Crow, 
who was himself a man of great wealth for those times. 

"William Goodwin was Ruling Elder of the churches of New- 
ton, Hartford and Hadley. He came to America on the Lion, 
in 1632, which sailed from London. He was a very prominent 
and wealthy man ; was plainly one of the very largest Hartford 
land owners." (Goodwin Gen.) The possibility of error on ob- 
scure points in genealogical data is well illustrated in the case 
of the (supposedly) two wives of Elder William Goodwin. The 
first record of his wife yet discovered in America is in Jan., 
1669-70, when he sold land in Hadley, Mass., and the name of the 
wife who then joined in the deed was Susanna; and there is also 
the date of Susanna's death, 1676. It was supposed that she was 
the only wife. But some English records make it seem practically 
sure that the first wife of William Goodwin, and the mother of 
his only child, Elizabeth, was Elizabeth White, daughter of Rob- 
ert and Bridget (Allgar) White, and granddaughter of William 
Allgar, Sr. The following is an extract from a 1901 number of 
the New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Register : — "The baptism of Eliza- 
beth White, 5th of March, 1591, is recorded in the Parish Register 
of Shalford, as is also her marriage, 7th Nov., 1616, then a single- 
woman of that parish, to William Goodwin of Bocking, then a 
singleman. There is a bequest to her in her father's will, which 
is dated May 27, 1617, and she was probably present at her fa- 
ther's burial, 17th June, 161 7. No mention of her has been found 
later than June, 1632. John Tallcott and William Goodwin came 
over in the ship "Lion," which sailed June 22, 1632, from London 
for Boston. A few days before she sailed John Tallcott and his 



53b APPENDICES, 

wife Dorothy, and William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth join 
in a conveyance of messuages, land, etc. in Braintree and Dock- 
ing." This "makes it highly probable that Goodwin's wife Eli- 
zabeth came with him to Hartford." In the list of the passengers 
of the "Lion" the names of only the men are given. After the 
name of William Goodwin (spelled Goodwynne) appears that of 
John White, the name of a son of Robert White. Robert White 
was a yeoman.

A URINGER - JANS - KING. 

By the marriage of Roger^ King (Lt. Eliphalet,* Capt. Joseph,^ 
James,^ William^), with Christina Auringer, their descendants 
are also Hneal descendants of Roeloof and Annetje Jans, who 
came to Rensselaerwyck from Holland in 1630, and settled first 
at Beaverwyck (now Albany), but subsequently at New Amster- 
dam. 

Although she died more than two centuries ago, the name of 
Annetje Jans continued to be, and still is familiar to the public, 
by reason of its connection with the celebrated legal contests 
between some of her descendants and the corporation of Trinity 
Church in the city of New York, extending over a period of 
nearly or quite fifty years for the possession of real estate 
which was hers at the time of her decease in 1663. A few years 
after her decease some, but not all, of her heirs joined in a 
conveyance of the land in question to Col. Lovelace, who was 
then Governor of the Province. Subsequently it was confiscated 
by Queen Anne, who, in 1703, presented it to the Church. 
Apart, however, from the celebrity thus conferred upon her, 
she and her husband, Roeloof Jans, have a permanent place in 
the colonial history of New York State by reason of their early 
connection with its first settlement as a colony under the aus- 
pices of the Dutch Government. Numerous references to them 
are found in the history of New Netherland, and of the cities 
of New York and Albany. Their names also appear frequently 
in early colonial documents preserved in the archives of the 
State, and which have been compiled and published by authority 
of the Legislature, under official supervision, in tlie "Document- 
ary History of the State of New York" (4 Vols. 1 849-1851), 
and in "Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State 
of New York" (11 Vols. 1855-6.) From the several authorities 
referred to, a consecutive and not uninteresting history of the 
family might be compiled. The scope of the present compila- 
tion, however, being limited, a mere outline sketch must suffice, 
and for that purpose the following extracts are selected. 

Among the "Names of Settlers in Rensselaerwyck in 1630" 
found in O'Callaghan's "History of New Netherland" (Vol. i, 
page 443), are included those of "Roeloff Jans, van Masterland, 
wife and family; Claes Claesen, his servant." In "Collections 



540 



APPENDICES. 



on the History of Albany" (Vol. 2, page 422), a chapter is de- 
voted exclusively to "Annetje Jans" and her descendants, in 
which it is said : 

"This celebrated character came to Rensselaerwyck in 1630 
with her husband, Roeloff Jans, who acted as assistant bouw- 
meester for the Patroon. Five or six years afterwards the family 
was found in New Amsterdam, where he received a patent in 
1636 for thirty morgens of land, lying along the Hudson River. 
About this time he died, and in 1637 or 1638 his widow mar- 
ried Dominie Everardus Bogardus, the first settled minister of 
the place. He died in 1647, and she returned to Albany, where 
she died in 1663 and lies buried in the Middle Dutch Church- 
yard on Beaver Street." 

Annetje is portrayed at the time of her second marriage in 
the "History of the City of New York," by Martha J. Lamb 
(Vol. I, page 85), as follows: "She was a small, well formed, 
woman, with delicate features, transparent complexion, and 
bright beautiful dark eyes. She had a well balanced mind, a 
sunny disposition, winning manners, and a kind heart." Much 
information concerning the family is found in the "Half Moon 
Series of Papers on historic New York." Number three of that 
series, entitled "Annetje Jans Farm," traces their history from 
a time prior to their embarking at Amsterdam for New Nether- 
land in 1630, until the decease of Annetje in 1663. The nar- 
rative begins with a recital of the circumstances which led to 
the connection of Roeloff and Annetje with the settlement of 
the colony of Rensselaerwyck. We select from it only such 
brief extracts as serve to supplement the foregoing information. 

"The West India Company had great difficulty in finding 
settlers for the provinces entrusted to their management. Finally, 
however, a scheme of colonization was evolved which threw all 
responsibility for outlay upon the shoulders of individuals. Large 
tracts of land in the province, with power to regulate and gov- 
ern the same, were assigned to those willing to plant colonies 
at their own expense. Among the founders of the West India 
Company was a rich Amsterdam jeweler, Kiliaen Van Rensse- 
laer, Kiliaen received a tract stretching above and below Fort 
Orange, on both sides of the Hudson River. It was about 
twenty-four by forty-eight miles, and covers the present sites of 
Troy and Albany. Roelof Janssen was engaged by the patroon 
as bouwmeester or assistant farm superintendent. Among others 
who went over on the good ship Eendracht, was Roelof Jansz, 
of Masterland, with Annetje his wife, and their three children, 



I 



AURINGER-JANS-KING. 54I 

Sara, Catrina and Fytjie. Jansz is the contracted form of 
Janssen ; the contraction for the feminine omits the 'z,' so that 
Roelof's wife is usually known as Annetje Jans. Her mother, 
Tryntje Jonas, either came to America with Annetje, or fol- 
lowed her shortly afterwards. In 1632 Kiliaen formed a gov- 
ernment within his colony by appointing Schout, Scheppen and 
Ruden. Roelof Janz was one of the latter, so that he was evi- 
dently of some weight in the little village." Apparently, how- 
ever, the honors conferred upon him in ''the little village" failed 
to satisfy his ambition, for in 1635 he removed with his family 
to New Amsterdam, and very soon afterward "he was evidently 
of some zveight" in the larger village ; for there, as we find 
stated in "Documentary History of the State of New York" 
(Vol. 3, page 611), "Roeloff Jansen was overseer of the Or- 
phan's Chamber under the Dutch Government, an office similar 
to that of surrogate. His widow, Annetje Jans, married, in 
1638, the Rev. Everhardus Bogardus." 

Although he resided for so brief a period in Rensselaerwyck, 
Roeloff left his name permanently inscribed on the map of the 
locality. A stream which empties into the Hudson from the 
east, some distance below Albany, still bears his name. Numerous 
grants of land, made between 1680 and 1687, were described 
in the patents as situated next to it or near it. Among them 
one for 2,000 acres to Robert Livingston, the proprietor of 
Livingston Manor, describes the tract as "a certain parcel of 
land lying on both sides of Roeloff Janssens Kill, called by the 
Indians Sanckhenack, east of Hudson's River, a little below 
Catskill. (See Documentary History, Vol. 3, pp. 613-15.) In 
the maps of Columbia County, at the present day, the stream 
is shown as "Janssen's Creek," the Dutch word "Kill" having 
given place to its English equivalent "Creek." Annetje Jans, 
as above stated, died in 1663. Her last will, the original (writ- 
ten in Dutch) is preserved in the office of the County Clerk of 
Albany County and a translation of it is contained in "Collections 
on the History of Albany," Vol. 3, p. 459. In it she is described 
as "Annetje Janss, widow of Roeloff Janssen of Masterland, and 
now lastly, widow of Rev. Everhardus Bogardus, residing in 
the village of Beaverwyck." Each of her four children by her 
first husband as hereinafter named, is mentioned in it. The 
lineage of her descendants down to a recent date is fully ex- 
hibited in the judicial records of the Supreme Court, and of the 
Court of Chancery of the State of New York, as reported at 
much length in "Johnson's Supreme Court Reports," Vol. 10, 



542 APPENDICES. 

pages 338-357, and in "Sanford's Chancery Reports," Vol. 4, 
pages 675 to 813. 

Readers of these records who have not had occasion to be- 
come famiHar with the pecuHarities of Dutch nomenclature will 
undoubtedly be at a loss to understand why the son of Roeloff 
Jans was called "J^"S Roelofifson" and his daughters "Sarah, 
Catharine and Fytie Roeloff," or "Roeloffse." The following 
extract from "Reminiscences of Troy," by Hon. John Wood- 
worth (published at Albany in i860), at page 'JT,, partially but 
not fully explains this singular transposition. After comment- 
ing upon certain obscurities in the matter of Dutch nomenclature 
the writer adds : "There are some other peculiarities about the 
derivation of Dutch names. If 'Jan' and 'Evert' Vanderheyden, 
residing in the same vicinity, had each a son named 'Jan' one 
would be called 'Jan Jansen' (Jan son of John) and the other 
'Jan Evertson,' (Jan, son of Evert), and in time the original 
name of Vanderheyden might be lost in Jansen and Evertsen. 
It is for this reason difficult to trace the genealogy of many 
Dutch families in this country." 

A further explanation is found in "Collections on the History 
of Albany," Vol. 4, page 84, from which we quote : "The system 
of nomenclature in early use among the Dutch settlers consisted 
in prefixing the child's to the father's Christian name, terminat- 
ing in 'se' or 'sen.' Thus the children of Rutger Jacobsen were 
respectively Margaret Rutgers, Engel Rutgers and Harmon Rut- 
gers, and Rutgers was subsequently assumed as the family name. 
The first settlers, Philip and David Schuyler, were more com- 
monly called Philip and David Pieterse, being sons of Pieter 
Schuyler." "The change in the spelling and pronunciation is like- 
wise a source of considerable embarrassment. Who would recog- 
nize the ancient 'Du Trieux' in the modern 'Truax,' or 'Beaufils' 
in 'Bovie.' As an illustration in point we frequently find Roeloff 
Jans referred to as Jansz, Janse, Janssen, and in some translations 
of the original documents as Johnson. One of many instances of 
this peculiarity occurs in the patent of land to Robert Livingston, 
referred to in the preceding page, in which three different spell- 
ings of the name appear in as many different paragraphs."

PRESTON - KING. 

Maj. Setii^ King, (Lieut. Eliphalet,* Capt. Joseph,^ James,' 
William^), born Sept. 2y, 1777; died July 12, 1851 ; married 
Oct. 15, 1808, at New Ipswich, N. H., Anna Preston, daughter 
of Dr. John and Rebecca (Farrar) Preston. She was born at 
New Ipswich, Aug. 10, 1784, and died there Sept. 6, 1863. She 
was born, lived during her entire lifetime, married and died in 
the same house, which was built in 1764 by her father, Dr. John 
Preston. After his death, Feby. 17, 1803, this house passed into 
the hands of Maj. Seth King, when he married Anne Preston 
and thenceforth became their residence. Dr. John Preston, the 
father of Mrs. Seth King came to New Ipswich in 1760 at the 
age of 22 years. He had been a fearless young soldier in the 
com.pany of his father, Capt. Samuel Preston, in the French and 
Indian War. Little fighting was done after the capture of Quebec 
by Wolfe in 1759 and John Preston laid aside his sword for the 
scalpel and settled down in New Ipswich as a physician. The 
Doctor was a fortnight younger than the new minister. Rev. 
Stephen Farrar, who was ordained the same year, and the two 
young men became fast friends. Dr. John Preston married the 
young minister's sister, Rebecca F'arrar, Nov. 29. 1764. The 
Doctor was a stanch Whig during the Revolution, but his pro- 
fessional duties did not permit his joining the army. He suc- 
ceeded his brother-in-law, Judge Timothy Farrar, as member of 
the convention to frame the State Constitution ; was one of the 
founders of the Appleton Academy at New Ipswich, and for 
many years its secretary. He filled the various town offices of 
town clerk, selectman and representative, and till his death in 
1803 was a leader of public opinion. His son John was also a 
doctor, a graduate of Dartmouth College in 1791, and succeeded 
to his father's practice and, like his father, was a good townsman 
and filled many important offices. His grandson, another John, 
was a graduate of Harvard, 1823, and entered upon the practice 
of the law ; was many years in the Legislature ; was Senator from 
District No. 9 when all other members of the Senate were Demo- 
cratic ; was formerly a Whig but was one of the little band known 
as the Liberty party in 1844; was the Free Soil candidate for 
Congress in 1848; and was supported by the Free Soilers in the 
Legislature for United States Senator in 1852. There still reside 



546 APPENDICES. 

(1903) in New Ipswich several members of the Preston family, 
and among them John Preston, great-great-grandson of Dr. John 
Preston, Sr., who is principal of the Appleton Academy at New 
Ipswich, and his brother. Frederic Preston, a commercial travel- 
ler for a New York wholesale firm. Their father was William 
Arthur Preston (John, Dr. John, Jr.; Dr. John, Sr. ), who died 
at New Ipswich Dec. 5, 1902. In 1867 he succeeded his father 
as treasurer of the New Ipswich Savings Bank, the affairs of 
which he conducted with rare judgment and ability until 1874. 
He was also president of the bank from 1889 until his death. In 
1874 he resigned the position of treasurer to become the principal 
of the Appleton Academy, at which he had prepared for college. 
In the meantime he served also as representative in the years 
1869 and 1870, as town treasurer from 1873 to 1875, and as mod- 
erator for eleven years. The position of principal of the academy 
he retained during the rest of his life and this period of nearly 
thirty years was of most remarkable value. 

His instruction was of very high order ; ample in resources, of 
copious and apposite illustration, accurate, vivid and forceful, and 
above all an inspiration of self-dependence to the student. He 
was. himself, an example of the true scholar, and possessed a 
rare influence upon the minds of the young, as well as the happy 
art of diffusing a delightful atmosphere around each subject. 

For the following pedigree of the Preston family I am indebted 
to the late Frank W. Preston (great grandson of Dr. Preston, 
Sr.), who died Sept. i, 1905, and was at the time of his death 
treasurer of the New Ipswich Savings Bank and also professor 
of mathematics in the Appleton Academy. He was a graduate at 
Harvard in 1858 and a man of rare ability and learning. He left 
four children — Kate, residing at Columbus. O. ; William A., re- 
siding at New Ipswich ; Frank H., residing at Springfield, Mass., 
and Herbert F., a graduate of Harvard. 

The first of the family who came from England was Roger 
Preston and with him commence the generations in America. 

First Generation. 

1 

Rogers Preston, born in England 1614; died in Lynn, Mass., 
Jany. 20, 1666. At the age of twenty-one years he left England, 
from London, in the ship Elizabeth, on April 8, 1635, for New 
England, and his name appears on the passenger list of that ship. 
There has been a doubt as to what part of England was his birth- 



PRESTON-KING. 547 

place. On his embarkation he took the oath of allegiance at the 
parish of St. Alphage, Cropplegate (Cripplegate, London, prob- 
ably) and produced a certificate that he was no "subsidie" man 
signed by witnesses "belonging to Blackwell Hall," the location 
of which is not mentioned. But from whatever part of England 
Roger Preston came it is certain that he embarked on the Eliza- 
beth April 8, 1635, at London for New England. He settled in 
Ipswich, Mass., and is first mentioned in the records there in 1639. 
Li a deed dated March 11, 1658, he sold his house and land in 
Ipswich. In this deed he is called "planter," and his wife is 
called Martha. He was in Salem, Mass., in 1660 and w^s licensed 
to keep an ordinary, and also the following year. He seems not 
to have been in very good circumstances and died insolvent Jany. 
20, 1666, at Lynn, Mass. His widow, Martha, married Nicholas 
Holt of Andover, Mass., May 21, 1666, and with three sons at 
least went to Andover. She died March 21, 1703, "aged upwards 
of eighty years " There are no records of births to be found, the 
ages given below being from depositions. It is said (tradition) 
that Nicholas Holt, who married the widow Martha, came from 
the same part of England as Roger Preston. Nicholas Holt came 
from Romsey, Hampshire, England. The children of Roger 
Preston and Martha, his wife, were probably all born at Ipswich, 
Mass.

logy, Maj. Seth King, pages 160- 161, ante. 



FARRAR-KING. 

The wife of Maj. Seth^ King (Lieut. Eliphalet* Capt. Joseph,^ 
James,^ William^) was Anna Preston, daughter of Dr. John and 
Rebecca (Farrar) Preston. The maiden name of the mother of 
Anna (Preston) King was Rebecca Farrar and she was the 
daughter of Deacon Samuel* Farrar (George,^ Jacob,^ Jacob^), 
a man very prominent in his day. The Farrar family was one 
of the most distinguished in New Hampshire. One brother of 
Rebecca (Farrar) Preston, Rev. Stephen Farrar, born Sept. 8, 
1738, in that part near Concord, now called Lincoln, and a gradu- 
ate of Harvard in 1755, was ordained as the first minister of New 
Ipswich, N. H., Oct. 22, 1760, and continued pastor of the Con- 
gregational church there for nearly fifty years and until his death, 
June 23, 1809. A sermon preached at his funeral by Rev. S. Pay- 
son, D. D., of Rindge, from Acts viii, 2 ; "Devout men carried 
Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him," con- 
tained a well merited tribute to his memory. (See also New 
Hampshire Hist. Coll. I., 151; V. 165-167; New Hampshire Re- 
positary I., 182, 197-8; Shattuck's Concord, p. 314.) Another 
brother of Rebecca (Farrar) Preston, Hon. Timothy Farrar, 
was born at Concord, N. H., June 28, 1747. He graduated at Har- 
vard, 1767. He was for forty years (1775-1816) a judge of the 
courts of New Hampshire and was appointed chief justice of the 
Supreme Court of that State Feby. 22, 1802. He married Ann 
Bancroft Oct. 14, 1779, and lived at New Ipswich. On the mem- 
orable April 19, 1775, he seized his musket and marched with a 
band of his fellow townsmen for Concord to oppose the British. 
He died at Hollis, N. H., Feby. 21, 1849, at the remarkable age 
of loi years, 7 months and 12 days. An excellent steel plate en- 
graving of him appeared in the New England Historical and Gen- 
ealogical Register, Vol. 6, p. 312 (October, 1852). His memory 
was excellent even to the last and he still frequently rode on horse- 
back when over loi years of age. 

Timothy Farrar, Jr., LL. D., a son of the preceding Timothy 
and Ann (Bancroft) Farrar, born at New Ipswich March 17, 
1788, graduated at Harvard, 1807. He studied law under Daniel 
Webster at Portsmouth, N. H., and was admitted to practice in 
i8io. He started to practice at New Ipswich, but almost im- 
mediately thereafter became the law partner of Daniel Webster

at Portsmouth, N. H., and remained such until Mr. Webster's 
removal to Boston in 1816, when he still continued the practice 
at Portsmouth. Dartmouth conferred upon him the degree of 
LL. D. He married Sarah Adams, daughter of William Adams 
of Portsmouth. He died at Mt. Bowdoin, Boston, Oct. 27, 1874. 
A good likeness of him is printed in the New England Historical 
and Genealogical Register, Vol. 29, pp. 224-233. 

English Ancestry. 

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 6, 
pp. 312-320, publishes the genealogy of the Farrar family, and 
from that volume I quote the following extracts : 

"The name of Farrar is said to have been derived from the 
Latin and French word signifying iron, and doubtless was first 
used to designate a locality where that metal was found. 

As a family name it was known in England from "Gualkeline" 
or "Walkeline" de Ferrariis, a Norman of distinction attached to 
William, Duke of Normandy, before the invasion of England in 
1066. From him all of the name in England and America have 
descended. 

Henry de Ferrars, his son, is on the roll of Battel Abbey (a 
list of the principal commanders and companions in arms of 
William the Conqueror) and was first of the family who settled 
in England, which he did immediately after the conquest (1066). 

When the general survey of the realm, recorded in Domesday 
Book, was made by order of King William I., in the fourteenth 
year of his reign, this Henry de Ferrars was one of the com- 
missioners appointed for that great service. "That he was a 
person of much eminency, both for knowledge and integrity there 
is no doubt ; otherwise it is not likely he would have been en- 
trusted in so high and weighty an employment." He bore for 
his arms "Argent — Six (three, two, one) horse shoes, pierced 
sable (See i Sir Wm. Dugdale's Baronage; 6 Collins' Peerage). 
The family afterward became quite numerous in England and 
diflferent branches of it were settled in many different counties." 
(See Peckard's Life of Ferrar.) 

The foregoing extract, which we have taken at length from 
the New England Historical and Genealogical Register is suf- 
ficient here as to the English ancestry. As to the American an- 
cestry of our Farrar family we will copy also extracts from the 
same volume.

American Ancestry. 
First Generation. 



Jacob^ Farrar, and his elder brother, John Farrar, were 
among the original proprietors of Lancaster, which was incor- 
porated May i8, 1653. All who became inhabitants signed what 
they called a ''covenant" for the better preserving "of the purity 
of religion and ourselves from the infection of error, not to dis- 
tribute allotments or receive into the plantation as inhabitants 
any excommunicant or otherwise profane and scandalous (known 
so to be) or anyone notoriously erring against the doctrine and 
discipline of the churches and the State and government of this 
commonwealth." This was signed by John and Jacob Farrar 
("f farrar") Sept. 24, 1653, and subsequently by those who were 
afterward permitted to settle there. (See Willard's History of 
Lancaster. ) 

Those who founded Lancaster were mostly from Lancashire, 
England, from which place also came Jacob and John Farrar. 
Members of the de Ferrar family were early in Lancashire, Eng- 
land, and the family still continue there. 

John Farrar, the elder brother, died Nov. 3, 1669, leaving a 
widow, who was appointed administratrix Nov. 7, 1670, and 
children whose names or number are not mentioned on the 
record. 

Jacob Farrar, the younger brother, was born about 1615. He 
married about 1640. When he came to America he left his wife 
and four children, and about one-half of their property, in Eng- 
land till their new residence was prepared at Lancaster, when 
they were sent for and arrived at Lancaster in 1658. The town 
records state that "young Jacob Farrar was appointed to assist 
in marking the bounds of the town" in 1659. A valuation of 
estates was made in 1654, for the purpose of regulating the pro- 
portion of the inhabitants in subsequent divisions of the common 
land. To this the following note succeeds : "The estate of several 
entered since 1655" and among these is "Jacob Farrar added 
when his wife came, £168-7-0." 

During King Philip's War, in the year 1675, Jacob had two 
sons killed. The town was taken Feby. 10, 1675-6 and most of 
the property destroyed by the Indians, and Jacob with his wife, 
his remaining son Joseph, and his daughter, with her husband, 
John Haughton, went to Woburn, where he died Aug. 14, 1677. 



FARRAR-KING. 553 

The "Humble Petition of the Distressed People of Lancaster" to 
the government for assistance in this emergency, dated March ii, 
1675-6 is now on record in the office of the Secretary of State. It 
is signed "Jacob ffarrar" and 18 others. The widow Farrar and 
her son-in-law, John Haughton, Jr., were appointed adminis- 
trators of her husband's estate, which was divided between the 
widow and "two children now surviving" (who must have been 
Mary and Joseph) and the children of his son Jacob'- deceased." 
John Haughton filed his administrator's bond March 27, 1682.

inventory dated "27th, 7th mo., 1675." Soon after his death his

George' Farrar {Jacob,- Jacob^), born Aug. i6, 1670; died

carried by his mother to Concord when he was but five years old 
and brought up by a farmer, Mr. Goble, at the place now called 
Lincoln. When George arrived at 21 years of age he had only a 
quarter of a dollar in his pocket. He called his companions to- 
gether and told them he would treat them with all he had and 
begin the world square. He married Sept. 9, 1692, Mary Howe, 
who had also lived at Mr. Goble's from her childhood, and with 
her he lived, including" the time they spent together in childhood, 
more than eighty years. He early purchased a large tract of land 
in the neighborhood where he was brought up and where his 
posterity of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh generations lived

Samuel* Farrar {George,'^ Jacob,- Jacob^), born Sept. 28, 
1708; died April 17, 1783. He settled on the central or home- 
stead portion of his father's farm and married Jany. 13, 1732, 
Lydia Barrett, daughter of Captain Benjamin Barrett, born Aug. 
2, 1712; died June, 1802. Samuel Farrar was a deacon of the 
church, an exceedingly strong character and very distinguished 
in his day. He was much interested in public afifairs, frequently 
serving his town as selectman, town clerk, representative, etc., and 
was a patriot of great zeal, steadiness and perseverance. He was 
selectman of Concord, N. H., in 1754, when Lincoln was set off, 
and afterward for many years town clerk and representative of 
the new town. 

In November, 1773, he was chairman of the first Committee 
of Correspondence and afterwards a member of the Great Mid- 
dlesex Convention of August 30, 1774, which led off in the Revo-

lution by Resolving, among other things of similar import : ''That 
it is our opinion these late acts (of the British Parliament) if 
quietly submitted to, will annihilate the last vestige of liberty in 
this province, and therefore we must be justified by God and the 
world in never submitting to them." 

He was also a member of the first Provincial Congress, which 
met Oct. II, 1774, and at the age of sixty-six years, took part in 
the first battle of the Revolution at Concord, April 19, 1775. He 
rallied the militia before Colonel Prescott came up. (See "His-

Samuel Farrar died soon after the conclusion of the war, April 
17, 1783, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, having witnessed 
the establishment of the independence of his country and endured 
the hardships of its acquisition, but leaving to his posterity the 
enjoyment of the rich inheritance of its blessings.

HOLLIDAY-HOOVER-SCHOONOVER-KING. 

Walter'' King (Ashbel,* Capt. Joseph,^ James,^ William'^), 
born at Suffield, Conn., Dec. 26, 1792; married Cynthia Maria 
Holliday, daughter of Jesse HolHday (John, Joseph, John, Jonas), 
of Kentucky. 

It is said that this name was formerly HalHday and that the 
Hne began with Henry, of Minchin, Hampton, England. Sir 
Leonard Halliday, great grandson of Henry and son of William 
(who in 1554 was created Baron Chandes of Sudley) was at his 
father's decease sent to London, where he rose to be sheriff and 
in 1605 was Lord Mayor of that city and was knighted by King 
James L The coat armour of this family was : — Arms — Sable, 
three helmets argent, garnished or, within a border engrailed, of 
the second. Crest — a demi-lion rampant or, holding an anchor 
azure. Motto — Ouarta Saluti. 

Jonas Holiday was the first whose name appears on the Vir- 
ginia records. He was sheriff of Norfolk county, Virginia, 1713- 
14, 1717-18. He had two sons, Marshall and Anthony. The lat- 
ter had a son Joseph, born about 1669 ; died before 1718. He had 
a son Joseph who left a large family. Capt. John Holladay was 
probably a son of the last named Joseph. He was a resident of 
Spottsylvania county, Virginia, and died Nov., 1742. The Vir- 
ginia Assembly passed an act May, 1780, ordering the court of 
Spottsylvania county "to hold their sessions at the house of John 
Holladay until the next court house, now building, shall be com- 
pleted." His will mentions nine children, of whom Joseph was 
the fourth. 

Joseph Halladay was born about 1724; succeeded his brother 
as inspector of tobacco at Fredericksburg under commission 
dated Nov. 30, 1761. The office was held by the Holladays for 
over fifty years. He married Elizabeth (Betty) Lewis, daughter 
of Harry Lewis, and had eleven children, of whom the eldest was 
John. 

John Holladay, eldest son of Joseph, was born about 1749. He 
removed to Clark county, Kentucky, about 1795, and died there 
May 21, 1819, being killed by a hogshead of tobacco which was 
being rolled down a hill to the boat, when it caught him against 
a tree and crushed him. His wife's name was Martha, and they 
were the parents of Jesse Holliday, who was born May 15, 1776;

died Aug. i8, 1853. Jesse Holliday married Sept. 21, 1801, Sarah 
Hover, daughter of Capt. Emanuel Hover of Walpack, N. J., an 
early resident of that place, who appears from the following deed 
to have left that place before 1797: "April 18, 1797, Manuel 
Hover and Mary (Schoonover) his wife, of Northampton county. 
Pa.," conveyed to John Smith and his wife Mary, of Walpack, 
certain described land in Walpack, conveyed to Hover "by Anne 
Brink, Nicholas Brush, Nelly Schoonover, widow of Nicholas 
Schoonover, Elijah Schoonover, and others." 

Capt. Emanuel Hover, born March 5, 1748; died at Milton, 
O., Aug., 1824, served in the Revolution as captain of the Third 
Battalion, Second Regiment, Sussex county, N. J. He was also 
a member of the Committee of Safety. His company was after- 
ward recognized as part of the regular army and he served as 
captain under Colonel Rosenkranz during the remainder of the 
war. He married Mary Schoonover, a descendant of Nicholas 
Schoonover (or Schoonoven). Nicholas Schoonoven was among 
the early settlers of Kingston, Ulster county, N. Y., where his 
name appears in the records (pp. 81-88) of baptism of his chil- 
dren as follows: "Nicholas Schoonhove and Neeltje Van de 
Schuyven, their daughter Auginiet baptized 28 Sept. 1707,; and 
Nicholas Van Schoonhoven and Neeltje Van der Schuive, De- 
bora and Margrita, their children, baptized 7 May, 1710." The 
correct spelling of his name was probably Van Schoonoven, the 
Van being subsequently dropped and the termination of the 
name being changed from time to time. The correct name of his 
wife was Neeltje van der Schuyven. 

The History of 'Sussex and Warren County, N. J., contains the 
following reference to the Schoonoven and other families (p. 
314) : "The earliest settlers in the township of Walpack, as well 
as in the county of Sussex came in by the old Mine road. They 
were chiefly Hollanders and French Huguenots." The name of 
Schoonhoven appears among these. (Page 316) : "On Nov. 6, 
1 71 8, Joseph Kirkbridge located a tract of land on the Delaware 
river, adjoining a branch of the same, about three miles above 
Pahaqualin (an Indian village) in the county of Hunterdon. 
Joseph Kirkbridge conveyed this tract of land by deed, dated Oct. 
10, 1725, to Nicholas Schoonhover and Thomas Brinck. By a 
re-survey in 1740 this land was found to contain 1,200 acres, be- 
sides allowance for highways. It is described as situated in the 
county of Morris, in the western division of New Jersey, at a 
place called Walpack, upon the Delaware river." Nicholas 



HOLLIDAY-HOOVER-SCHOONOVER-KING. 559 

Schoonhoven was a resident and landowner in Walpack in 1737. 
Peter and James Schoonhoven (afterward spelled Schoonhover) 
owned land in the township as late as 1786. Hendricus Schoon- 
hoven was a freeholder of Walpack in 1762.

day) King see the King Genealogy, pages 165-166, ante. 



B A YEUX - V ANDERHE YDEN - KING. 

In the following genealogical record the lineage of the descend- 
ants of Harvey J. King (1824) by his marriage with Ellen B. L. 
Bayeux is traced in a direct line from Jacob Tysse Van Der Hey- 
den, who was born in Holland about A. D. 1620. (See Mun- 
sell's "Collections on the History of Albany," Vol. 4, page 181.) 
He came to New Netherland in 1653. Two years later he visited 
his birth place and there, on July 25, 1655, at Amsterdam, mar- 
ried Anna Hals, with whom he returned and settled at Bever- 
wyck ; which had already become a trading post of considerable 
importance. He died there in 1691. (See "Early Records of Al- 
bany County." page 64.) 

His son, Dirk Van Der Heyden, through whom the following 
genealogy is traced, was born about A. D. 1660. The exact date 
of his birth is not known, but in "Documents Relative to the 
Colonial History of the State of New York," (Vol. 3, page 436), 
it is stated that in 1686 he went from Albany "with a party under 
the command of Captain Roseboom upon an expedition to the 
Indians. The party was set upon by a much superior force of 
French and Indians, robbed and taken prisoners to Quebec." 
Finally, with three others he made his escape and reached Albany 
in five days, having journeyed all but about three miles by water. 
The records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Albany 
show that his oldest daughter was baptized in it in 1687, and that 
he became a member of it on December 26. 1694. His wife, who 
was then Rachel Keteluyn. had been a member of it since 1683. 
He died at Albany. Oct. 10, 1738. (See Munsell's "Annals of 
Albany." Vol. i. pages 98, loi, 242, and Vol. 2, page 157.) From 
frequent references to him in the "Annals" he appears to have 
participated extensively in Albany affairs. In 1699 his name 
appears among those who took the oath of allegiance to King 
William HI., and in 1701 on a petition to the king. He also held 
various city offices. He was a large landholder, and on June 2, 
1707, became the owner, by purchase from Pieter Pieterse Van 
Wogelum, of the tract of land extending from the Poestenkill to 
Piscawen Creek, on which the City of Troy now stands, and 
which remained in the possession of his descendants for several 
generations. 



BAYEUX-VANDERHEYDEN-KING. 561 

In 1774 his great grandson, Jacob D. Vanderheyden, (1758- 
1809), since known as "The Patroon of Troy." became by devise 
from his father the owner of the greater portion of the tract. 

For several years thereafter, although frequently urged to do so 
by enterprising New Englanders, who perceived the desirability 
of the location as a village site, he refused to dispose of any of 
his land for such a purpose, but after much persuasion consented 
to give permanent leases of a limited number of building lots near 
the river. Several stores and dwellings were soon after erected, 
and in 1787 the name of Vanderheyden was adopted by the set- 
tlers as the name of the embryo village. Finally, however, he 
was induced to have a tract with a frontage on the river of about 
a mile laid out and mapped as village lots. They were immedi- 
ately in demand, and he rapidly disposed of them by leases in 
fee. reserving on each lot an annual ground rent, payable to him- 
self and his heirs forever. He would not give a deed or com- 
plete title to a lot at any price. Many of those rents are still in 
force, but more have been extinguished by purchase from his 
heirs. In the leases executed at that period the lots were de- 
scribed as "situated in the township of Vanderheyden." Later, 
by a vote of the inhabitants, the name of the village was changed 
from V^anderheyden to Troy. 

The title of "Patroon," by which he was known in his lifetime 
and is still referred to, was derived from the manorial rights 
and reservations contained in all leases executed by him. 

His prominent characteristics are portrayed in "Reminiscences 
of Troy," by Hon. John Woodworth. who was an eminent jurist 
during the early part of the present century, and who knew him 
well, having resided and practiced law in Troy from 1791 to 1806, 
when he removed to Albany, being then Attorney General of the 
State. 

Judge Woodworth. though but ten years his junior, survived 
him nearly half a century, and in his "Reminiscences" above re- 
ferred to, written in 1853. and published at Albany by J. Munsell, 
after a brief biographical narrative, concludes his sketch as fol- 
lows : "He was one of the pillars of the Presbyterian church; 
always liberal in contributions, and in Christian labors abundant. 
His example at that early day shed a moral influence in the com- 
munity, the fruit of which is visible at the present day." 

A memorial tablet, placed near the pulpit in the First Presby- 
terian Church of Troy, describes him as "The Father and 
Founder of this Church, and its first Ruling Elder." He is also 
commemorated by a memorial window placed over the main 
■entrance to the church.

HAIGHT-KING. 

Janet Cameron^ Haight, (Fletcher M./ Gen. Samuel 5"./ 
Stephen,^ Jonathan* John,^ John,^ Simon,^ of Charleston, Mass., 
1628), born July 9, 1823, in Bath, N. Y. ; died Dec. 21, 1844, in 
Rochester, N. Y. ; married Jany. 23, 1844, at Rochester, N. Y., 
George EHphalet" King (Seth,^ Lieut. EHphalet,* Capt. Joseph, 
James,- WilHam^). It is supposed that the name Haight was de- 
rived from the word Hoit or Hoyte, of Dutch origin. The word 
hoit or hoyt is now obselete, but in old Enghsh it sometimes 
meant "to leap or caper" (Webster's Diet., Hoit) or to be noisily 
or riotously merry. The ancestor of the family may have ob- 
tained the surname from his athletic proclivities of leaping or 
capering, or because he was a noisily merry fellow. We meet with 
the word in the old English of Beaumont & Fletcher in the 
"Knight of the Burning Pestle" where the words run as follows : 
He "sings and hoits and revels among his drunken companions." 
The tradition is that the family was originally Dutch — "Hoyte" — 
and it is said that the present Baron V^on Hoyte of Germany and 
the Haights, Hoyts and Hights are all from the same Dutch 
stock. However that may be, the family was well established in 
Somersetshire, England, as early as the year 1400. The earliest 
spelling of the name in the records of England in 1417-1418-1503 
is Hoyte but Hayte and Haite occur with reference to the same 
family in England in the years 1548-1572-1610. The first Amer- 
ican ancestor of the Haight family, Simon Hoyte, (sometimes 
spelled Hait) landed in Salem, Mass., in the year 1628 and soon 1 
thereafter the family spread to Connecticut, Long Lsland, and I 
several places in New York state. 

One of the most singular facts in connection with the Haight 
family is the orthography of the name and the various ways in 1 
which members of the same family have spelled their names. No 
less than thirty-four different methods of spelling the name appear 
in the records, as follows : Hoyte, Hoyt, Hoite, Hoit, Hoytt, 
Hoitt, Hoyet, Hoyett, Hoyette, Hoyht, Hoitte, Hoith. Hoyat, 
Hawett. Hoyght, Hoight, Hight, Hite, Hoett, Hyet, Hioght, 
Hiot, Hyot, Houet, Hyte. Hyatt. Hayts, Haitt, Hayt, Hait,, 
Height, Hayte, Haite and Haight. Where the English and Dutch 1 
streams of migration met in Westchester County, New York, the 
various forms of the name settled into Haight, and the descend- 



HAIGHT-KING. 565 

ants of John Hoit or Hoyt of Rye, Connecticut and Moses Hoyt 
of Eastchester and of Samuel Haight who was in Flushing, Long 
Island, as early as 1684 continued the name Haight until during 
the 1 8th century it became the commonest form of spelling it. 

The Haight family has produced many distinguished members. 
The father of Janet Cameron Haight (King) was Fletcher Math- 
ews Haight, born Nov. 28, 1799, at Elmira, New York, died at 
San Francisco, California, Feby. 2}^, 1866. He was a graduate 
of Hamilton College, N. Y. Began the practice of law in Bath 
N. Y. Removed to Rochester, N. Y., in 1824 and became emi- 
nent in his profession. He was elected to the legislature from 
Monroe County, New York, in 1833. Removed to St. Louis in 
1846 and to San Francisco, California, in 1854, where he prac- 
ticed law in partnership with his son, Henry H. Haight (after- 
wards Governor of California) until 1861 when he was appointed 
United States District Judge of the Southern District of Califor- 
nia by President Abraham Lincoln, which office he held until his 
death in 1866. 

Major General Samuel S. Haight, the father of Judge Fletcher 
M. Haight and the grandfather of Janet Cameron Haight 
(King) born at Athens, N. Y., Sept. 17, 1788, died at Cuba, N. 
Y., April 20, 1863, was by profession a lawyer and practiced at 
Newtown, now Elmira, N. Y. He was Major General of the 
1- ew York State troops in the war of 181 2 and was marching at 
the head of his troops toward the Canadian frontier when peace 
between the United States and England was declared. His uncle, 
Major Jonathan Haight, born 1736, died 1779, was a gallant of- 
ficer who had a short and brilliant life with an extremely sad ter- 
mination. Maj. Jonathan Haight held a commission in the Eng- 
lish army as Captain in the 44th Regiment, of which Jonathan 
Le Roy was Colonel. Maj. Haight's commission as Captain was 
signed by Governor James De Lancey of New York March 22, 
1760 and is still preserved by his descendants. He was before 
that^ in the Indian Wars of 1759. He went with the English 
troops to Cuba in the War of England against Spain and was 
promoted to Major for his bravery at the taking of Morro Castle, 
Havana, in 1762. When the War of the Revolution broke out, 
however, he resigned at once from the English service and es- 
poused the American cause. He was denounced by the English 
as guilty of treason and a price was set upon his head. He was 
hunted from place to place and his estates confiscated. When 
he died in 177^ he left a son Samuel Haight, who was afterward 
a general in the United States army in the War of 181 2. This 
General Samuel Haight is not the Major General Samuel S.

Haight, who was in command of the New York troops in 1812, 
but was his cousin. Janet Cameron Haight (King) had also 
a brother Henry Huntley Haight, born at Rochester, N. Y., May 
20. 1825; died at San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 2, 1878; graduate of 
Yale, 1844. He removed from Rochester, N. Y., to St. Louis 
in 1846 where he began the practice of law, but left St. Louis 
Nov. 1849, for California and arrived at San Francisco, July 20, 
1850. He was eminently successful in the practice of law in San 
Francisco and acquired a considerable fortune. He was elected 
on the Democratic ticket Sept. 5, 1867, Governor of the State of 
California over George C. Gorham, the Republican candidate, 
Ijy a majority of 10.000 votes, being the first Democratic Gover- 
nor elected after the Civil War. He held the office of Governor 
until December, 1871. 

Elizabeth Stuart (McLachlan) Haight, the mother of Janet 
Cameron (Haight) King, was a descendant from the Camerons 
of Lochiel, consecrated in history by the pens of Campbell, Scott, 
Hogg, Wilson and Macauley. She was born in Scotland at 
Fort William. Inverness County. We will begin with the first 
Haight ancestor in America.

BEVERIDGE-KING. 

At least four centuries of Scottish life should be sufficient to 
give the name ''Beveridge" the character of being strictly Scot- 
tish. So much is attested for it by the "Exchequer Rolls" of 
Scotland, vols. VI to XI, and Beveridge's "Culross and Tulli- 
allan." Mr. D. Beveridge mentions Friar Beverage, or Bever- 
idge, burned to death on the Castle Hill of Edinburg along with 
Thomas Forret, vicar of Dollar in 1538, and suggests that he 
may have been a monk of Culross, where a garden adjoining the 
convent yard was known in after days as "Beveridge Yard." 
The name, he further says, is a common one in Kinross-shire 
and the western district of Fife. The derivation accepted by 
Mr. Beveridge in his interesting book is "Beverege" or Beaver 
Island, which he refers to as an island in the Severn, mentioned 
under that name by Florence of Worcester. Beverly is also in- 
stanced as a cognate name. Supposing this to be the true deriva- 
tion, the islet in the Severn would not necessarily be the actual 
source of the Scottish family name but a Beaver Island may have 
existed in Scotland. The Exchequer Rolls give us James, John 
and Thomas Beverage as tenants of Bonehill, in Fife, as far 
back as 1485-7. Burke calls Beveridge Norman. There is a 
Beuvrages, Nord of France. Bishop Beveridge's family was of 
Leicestershire and it is well to note that the tine domain of Bel- 
voir Castle, Leicestershire, pronounced "Beever" has hills of 
which the "edge" or "ridge" may account for the joint Beveridge. 
(See "Notes and Queries, 7th Series, p. 252.) 

Anna Eliza Beveridge married Cameron Haight King, April 
2, 1873, ^t Sacramento, California. She was born at 
Benicia, Solano Co., Cahf., June 13, 185 1, and was the daughter 
of David Forney Beveridge, born 1827; died April 16, 1872, and 
Hanna Rebecca Beveridge. born 1828; died Aug. 9, 1873, 
daughter of Capt. Robert and Eliza (Harvey) Winn. Capt. 
Robert Winn was a sea captain and was from Salem, Mass., 
but took up his residence at Benicia, California before 1850, 
Eliza (Harvey) Winn survived her husband and died at San 
Francisco 1881. She had a brother in San Francisco, James 
Harvey. David Forney Beveridge, the father of Anna Eliza 



I 



BEVERIDGE-KING. 571 

born in Scotland, came to America before 1822 and in 1823, at 
Baltimore, Md., married Anna Maria Forney. 

Robert Beveridge shortly after his marriage with Anna Maria 
Forney went with his wife to Florida which was then a wilder- 
ness and the Indians there very troublesome. He and a business 
partner laid out a town which they named in honor of their wives 
— Mary and Anna — transformed into Marianna, now the county 
seat of Jackson County, Florida. There Mrs. Beveridge died 
and was buried. The children of Robert and Anna Maria (For- 
ney) Beveridge were Susan Louisa, David Forney and Robert 
Duval. The last named, who died in childhood, owed his middle 
name to the fact that Governor Duval of Florida was visiting 
at their house when he was born. Susan Louisa Beveridge b. 
July 21, 1824, was brought up by her grandmother, Mrs. David 
Forney who took her daughter's children to her home in Balti- 
more after their mother's death in Florida. She, Susan Louisa 
Beveridge, married Jeremiah Fisher, then a merchant in Balti- 
more. Two of their children, Jeanette and Ella, died in child- 
hood within a few days of each other. Mrs. Fisher's health 
failed after this, and after a vain attempt to regain strength by 
a visit to Florida, among her father's (Robert Beveridge) family 
by his second marriage, she returned to Baltimore and died May 
31, 1859. She left surviving her (i) Anna Louisa Fisher, who 
died Dec. 29, 1876, was married to Henry Sage Manning of 
Brooklyn, N. Y., and left a son Richard Fisher Manning. (2) 
Leila Beveridge Fisher who married William C. Howard of 
Brooklyn, N. Y. They have three children, Helen Louise How- 
ard, born Jany. 31, 1878; Ruth, born April 24, 1885, and Wil- 
liam Fisher Howard, born Dec. 14, 1887. The residence of Mrs. 
William C. Howard is (in 1903) No. 246 Washington Ave, 
Brooklyn, L. L 

David Forney Beveridge born 1827, died April 16, 1872; 
went to California in 1849 o^ 1850 in the early days of the gold 
fever. He soon thereafter lost his right arm by an accident while 
hunting. He returned with his family to Baltimore, but subse- 
quently went back again to California. He held several county 
offices in Solano County, California, and while doing so resided 
at Suisun in that County. He was also Engrossing Clerk of the 
Assembly in the Legislature of 1869-70 and thereafter made Sac- 
ramento, Calif., his residence where he died April 16, 1872.

FORNEY - KING. 

Anna Maria Forney, who marrkd Robert Beveridge, was 
the grandmother of Anna EHza (Beveridge) King, wife of Cam- 
eron H. King and an account of the Forney family may be of 
some interest. 

Johann Adam Forney, the first ancestor of the family in Amer- 
ica, came to Pennsylvania in 1721 from Wachenheim-in-the- 
Haardt, a small town ten miles west of Mannheim. The Haardt 
is a mountainous wine-growing district of the Rhenish Palatinate 
and it is there that the scene of Cooper's novel, The Heidenmauer, 
is laid. 

The family name which has been spelled Fourny, Fornich, 
Forny, Farney, Ffarney, Furney, Forne, or Forne, Faurney and 
Farny is probably French; it is not uncommon in France and 
French Switzerland. A family tradition says that the Forneys 
were originally Huguenot refugees from France, who sought an 
asylum in Germany from religious persecution. 

Christian Forney, the emigrants' father, had lived in Wachen- 
heim long enough to become a citizen and they had relatives in 
the neighboring city of Duerkheim, where representatives of the 
family still reside. 

Johann Adam Forney brought with him to this country a cer- 
tificate, of which the following is a translation; the original is 
still in the possession of his descendants in Hanover, Pennsyl- 
vania. 

"We, magistrates, burgomasters and council of the city of 
Wachenheim-in-the-Haardt, certify herewith that before us came 
the worthy Johann Adam Forney, citizen and tailor here, the leg- 
itimate son of the worthy Christian Forney, also a citizen here, 
and informed us that he, with his wedded wife, Elisabetha Lowisa, 
have firmly resolved to set out with their four children and 
effects, on the journey to the island of Pennsylvania and to settle 
there ; but he stands in need of an attested certificate of how he 
behaved with us and why he departed, such as he can show at the 
place of his settlement. Which we gave him according to his reas- 
onable desire and truthfully ; moreover, because we believed it 
would really be required in order that no one could calumniate 
our citizen or citizen's children ; although we have sought dili- 



FORNEY-KING. 575 

gently and earnestly to dissuade him from such departure, yet 
he remains of his first intention ; therefore after steadfast per- 
severance we have given the said Johann Adam Forney this cer- 
tificate : That as long as we have known him he has behaved 
himself honorably, piously and honestly, as well becomes a good 
citizen and artisan, and, moreover, showed himself so neighborly 
that no one has had any complaint to make of him ; he also is 
bound to no compulsory service or serfdom; he will not be un- 
willing to give, to show with all readiness to those of his intended 
residence all affection and kindness. 

To this true certificate we, the authorities, have affixed our city 
council's great seal to this statement which is given at Wachen- 
heim-in-the-Haardt, the 7th day of May, 1721." 

In his family Bible the emigrant made this record: "In the 
year 1721, on Oct. i6th, I Johann Adam Farny and Lowisa Far- 
nisin, with four children, arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." 

Where they went after landing we do not know. A bond of 
John Digges dated Oct. 5, 1731 "to give at some future time an 
absolute title to the land" which he sold to the emigrant, describes 
him as "Adam Faurney of Philadelphia County in the Province 
of Pennsylvania, farmer and tailor," so that he probably spent his 
first years in America in that county. 

He was settled in the neighborhood of what is now Hanover, 
York County, Pennsylvania, in 1734. It was then known as 
Conewago Settlements or Digges' Choice. The latter name it 
got from John Digges, who some years before had taken up some 
land there on a Maryland warrant, had it surveyed for him by a 
Maryland surveyor, and had sold some of it to Forney and others 
whose lives were "made miserable for some years by the tur- 
moils arising out of disputes between Digges and other settlers, 
which were aggravated by the conflicting claims of Penn and Bal- 
timore to the proprietorship. For many years the region was 
known as the "disputed land" and there was naturally much law- 
lessness." (The Hon. Edward McPherson in Gettysburg Star and 
Sentinel, 1876). 

Adam Forney in a deposition dated Aug. 29, 1746 (Pennsyl- 
vania Archives, ist series. Vol. II, p. 625, et seq.) gives an ac- 
count of his dealings with Digges, showing how the latter had de- 
ceived him as to the title to the land, the amount of acres in the 
grant, lines of survey, etc. 

Thomas Cookson, surveyor of Lancaster County, was sent by 
the Pennsylvania authorities to read the Royal Order to Digges 
in the Spring of 1746. This Royal Order was designed to settle 
the vexed question of the boundary between the provinces and in

this case it bore upon Digges' right to take up vacant land in 
Pennsylvania on his Maryland warrant. But this invocation of 
the majesty of the law was without effect as we see from the 
following letter, with its quaint German idioms, from "Adam 
Forne to Thomas Cookson." 
'"' Worshipful Sir : 

May it please your worship we cannot but acquaint your wor- 
ship what has happened here since your departure from us. 
Yesterday as the 24th of April, Mr. Digges sent a Deputy Sher- 
iff out of Maryland for to arrest Matthew Ulrich and Nicholas 
Forne he took them two until to my house where I asked the 
Sheriff by what authority he rested those men, if they owed 
any money. If they owed any money I would be bound for their 
appearance at Court, but if he could not tell me no more cause 
than this viz : 'that those men should give their bonds to Digges 
for the land or depart from the land.' The two people have taken 
up their lands these five years ago from the Hon'r Propr's land 
ofifice in Philadelphia and it was surveyed for the same. I or- 
dered upon this them two men as Matthias Ulrich and Nicholas 
Forne to return to their Habitation, whereupon the Sheriff and 
Digges' son made resistance and the Sheriff drew his sword upon 
me and we then drew our swords and was a-going in upon them, 
whereupon they fled to their horses and so ran away and so was 
the way that we got ridden of our new guests. Now is our Humble 
request to you for to come up speedily and to look into the matter 
and settle it that we may have rest and live in peace and quietness 
as his Majesty's Subjects and not be troubled forever. For if this 
matter is not rectified and we do not get help speedily we must 
help ourselves and should it be with our last Drop of Blood, for 
I am well assured that we will not be put upon by no Digges that 
ever lived under the sun. So wishing that you may soon come 
over, I have no more to add but remain your 

Humble and Ob't Servant 
Little Canowako Adam Forne. 

April 25, 1746. 

P. S. Sir : — Digges also troubled many more — in short all them 
that lives in his resurveyed additional lines and was going to 
have them arrested, but some sent him a-packing in the striving, 
and yesterday I heard that he should have said that he had made 
up with your worship, and if you did not come in ten days you 
would not come in ten years any more." 

From this letter it is apparent that Adam Forney was a man 
of some spirit and would "not be put upon by no Digges that 
ever lived under the sun" even if it took his "last drop of blood." 



FORNEY-KING. 577 

Apparently after Digges and the officers had been "sent a-packing 
in the striving" and had run off they staid away for some time 
and we hear nothing more of the Digges' affair until in January 
1747 the following petition from the inhabitants of Conewago 
was received: 

"Mr. Cookson, these cooms to acquaint you of the yuseige we 
met with of Mr. Digges and of the government of Maryland. 
Last week came an officer from Maryland to serve an writ on 
Adam Forney at the suite of Mr. Jno. Digges of an Trispess on 
the Case, which officer came to the house of Adam Furney with 
two negro men and one convict sarvant fallo of said Jno. Digges 
with Three men more of little better reputation as we are in- 
formed and as soon as the said persons intred the house they fall 
upon Adam Furney, draged him out like a Dog, never gave him 
lave to put on any close but what he had on and so hoisted him 
away thro a bitter cold night. When Adam Furney's wife and 
Daughter under a grate fright and seprise, seemg the old man so 
barbarously used, fell about the old man, not knowing what was 
the matter, lamenting and crying, when this convict fallow up 
with an grate club knockt down both the women and so followed 
up his blows and knockt the Old Woman twice more after they 
had the old man out as if he had been ordered to commit murder 
or some other outragies mischief. And that all without any Resin 
as none of us ever took either hand, stick or any other thing to 
hurt any of them or to ower defence" 

It will be seen from all this that the period was indeed very 
strenuous. 

The old pioneer's life seems to have been a troublous one even 
up to its close. In 1748 we find noted in the. minutes of the Pro- 
vincial Council that "An Indian this last Summer came in a rude 
manner to a substantial housekeeper of Lancaster County, one 
Adam Furney and demanded rum of him ; he gave him some ; but 
because he refused to give him more he withdrew a small space, 
and having his gun in his hand ready loaded he shot him in the 
breast and he lay a considerable time ill of his wounds, being ex- 
pected to die every day. On this the Indian was apprehended and 
committed to Jail but the man recovered contrary to all expec- 
tations and the Indian was the other day released" (Colonial 
Records, Vol. V., p. 409). 

Adam Forney died probably in the early part of 1752 ; family 
tradition says from the consequences of the wound inflicted by 
the Indian. His wife survived him at least a year for on July 
20, 1753' she filed her account as administratrix of her husband's 
estate which was appraised at £1021 — 13s. — gd.

married October 17, 1881, at New York City Cameron H. King 
and was his second wife. She was the daughter of Charles Mar 
and Frances Sarah (Bridgwood) Brown. 

The Brown family, it is said, were originally from New Eng- 
land and descendants of the Puritan Pilgrim Peter Brown, who 
came to New England in 1620 in the Mayflower, or of his brother 
John, who came shortly thereafter, but I have not been able as 
yet to obtain sufficient data or genealogical records showing a 
connected lineage to that source. 

The only authentic records at present in my possession begin 
with a branch of the family located in Pennsylvania and engaged 
in farming at Watsontown, Northumberland County.

BAKER - BRIDGWOOD - KING. 

Ella Jane (Brown) King, wife of Cameron Haight King, was 
the grand-daughter of Elizabeth (Baker) Bridgwood, born in 
England May 24, 1819; died in San Francisco, California. 
Married in 1837 in England, John Coomer Bridgwood, an officer 
of the 7th Huzzars in the English army, whose regiment at the 
time was stationed at Birmingham. She was the daughter of 
Jeremiah and Mary (Ansley) Baker. 

The Baker family is one of high standing in England. Their 
arms are blazoned as follows: "Arms— Quarterly, First a. A 
fourth gules, a goat passant argent, attired or, for Baker ; second, 
argent, on a fess gules, between two bars wavy sable, three cres- 
cents or, for Dod; Third: per fess, sable and gules an eagle dis- 
played or for Edge. Crest : Out of a ducal coronet or, a goat's 
head argent, attired or. Motto: Ars bona violentia. 

The Baker family is mentioned in "Burke's Landed Gentry of 
England" from which book we have taken the lineage of the 
Baker family given below. 

The arms of the Baker family which we have given above are 
thus; which were borne by both the father and grand-father of 
Elizabeth (Baker) Bridgwood and are also the same as those 
now borne by William Meath Baker, Esq., B. A., of Hasfield 
Court, County Gloucester, England. 

Sampson^ Baker, one of the early ancestors of the family, was 
a wealthy merchant of London, England, in the year 1610. He 
was married and left as his heir his descendant: 

William Baker, of Bridgenorth, County Salop, England, who 
married (for his second wife) in 1736 Jane, daughter and heiress 
of George Dod, Esq., of High Fields, County Chester, England, 
descended from a scion of the Dods of Edge. His youngest son 
was: William Baker, born 1744, died 1785, who succeeded to 
the County Stafford estates of his father. He married Sarah 
Baker and left surviving him two sons : 

First: William Baker of Fenton House; and second: Jere- 
miah Baker, who was the father of Elizabeth (Baker) Bridg- 
wood, mother of Frances Sarah (Bridgwood) Brown, who was 
mother of Ella Jane (Brown) King, wife of Cameron H. King. 



BAKER-BRIDGWOOD-KING. 583 

William Baker, of Fenton House, born 1770, died 1833, mar- 
ried 1793, Mary, daughter of James Bourne, Esq., and sister of 
Ralph Bourn, Esq., of Hilderstone Hall, J. P. and D. L. of 
County Stafford. She died in 1855. Of this marriage was born

Gloucester, England, who died unmarried in 1865 and was suc- 
ceeded by his brother Rev. Ralph Bourne Baker, M. A., of Has- 
field Court, Fenton House, Doveridge Wood House, County

daughter of Right Reverend Joseph Henderson Singer, D. D., 
Bishop of Meath by Mary, his wife, daughter of Rev. Henry 
Crofton and grand-daughter of Sir Morgan Crofton, First Bar- 
onet of Mohill Castle, County Leitrim. 

Rev. Ralph Bourne Baker, died in 1875. He left as his heir, 
his son, William Meath Baker and also left daughters : Mary 
Frances; Sarah Adelaide, d. 1851 ; and Letitia Jane Dorothea, 
who married July 28, 1881 Richard Baxter Townshend, Esq. 

William Meath Baker, Esq., of Hasfield Court, County Glou- 
cester, England, was born Nov. i, 1857. He was educated at 
Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, (B. A. 1880) and is J. 
P. for County Gloucester. He married May 24, 1884, Mary, 
only daughter of R. J. Corbett, Captain (Retired List) Indian 
Staff Corps, of La Pinedo, Hyeres, France. By this marriage 
he has a son : 

William George Corbett Baker, born in 1885. 

William* Baker (William,^ William-, Sampson^) had, besides 
his sons William and Rev. Ralph Bourne Baker, a daughter 
Mary who married John Harvey and had a child Mary Harvey 
who married in i860 George Ford, of Barlaston, Co. Stafford, 
who died in 1874. Mrs. Mary Ford is also mentioned in Burke's 
"Landed Gentry of England" as "Mistress Mary (Harvey) Ford

WASHINGTON - LEWIS - STEELE - KING. 

David Leicester^ King (Leicester,'' David,^ Ebenezer,^ Eben- 
eser* James,^ James,^ William^), born in Warren, Ohio, Dec. 24, 
1825; died in Akron, Ohio, Jan. 29, 1902; married in Charles- 
ton, West Va., May i, 1894, Bettie Washington Steele, a grand 
niece of our first President, George Washington. 

A brief synopsis of the genealogy of the Washington family, 
sufficient to show this connection between the Washington and 
King families, will therefore undoubtedly be of interest ; but it will 
be unnecessary for such purpose to give here more than a mere 
skeleton outline of the same. Indeed until quite recently, noth- 
ing was definitely known concerning the English ancestry of the 
Washington family. General Washington himself, with the aid 
also of the College of Arms in London, Eng., made considerable 
effort to trace the ancestry of his grandfather, John Washington, 
who in 1657 came from England to Va., but the result was un- 
satisfactory. Ever since then genealogists both in England and 
America have made most persistent, patient and laborious search 
to discover the English origin of the Washington family, and it 
is only within the last fifteen or twenty years that definite and 
reliable information concerning the same has been obtained. 

Those who desire to investigate the English ancestry of the 
Washington family more fully are referred to Vol. 14 of the 
Writings of George Washington, by Worthington Chauncey 
Ford in an appendix to which, entitled "The Washington Fam- 
ily," a very complete genealogy of that family will be found, from 
which I have extracted much of the information below given. 

Before the latter part of the fifteenth century and prior to the 
discovery of America, the Washington family was established in 
County Lancaster, England. The earliest known ancestor was 
John^ Washington, of Whitfield, in that County, who left a son 
named Robert." who married Miss Westfield and left a son 
named John.' The three succeeding generations were of North- 
amptonshire. John^ Washington married Margaret Kitson and 
had a son named Lawrence* Washington of Northampton and 
Grays Inn and mayor of Northampton in 1532. On the disso- 
lution of the monasteries in 30 Henry VIII (1538-9) Lawrence* 
Washington received a grant of a parcel of the dissolved priory 
of St. Andrew, the Manor of Sulgrave, with all the lands in 



WASHINGTON-LEWIS-STEELE-KING. 587 

Sulgrave and Woodford, certain lands in Stolesbury and Colton 
near Northampton that belonged to this priory and all the lands 
in Sulgrave belonging to the priories of Canons Ashby and Cates- 
by. He died in 1584, possessed of the above and other lands and 
was buried in Sulgrave Church. The place of his interment is 
marked by a plate bearing thereon, besides his name, etc., the 
Arms of the Washington Family "Argent, two bars gules, in 
chief three mullets of the second" and in this connection I am 
led to remark here that it seems to me not improbable that the 
Coatof Arms of the Washington family with its stars (mullets) 
and its red (gules) bars or stripes on a white (argent or silver) 
field, suggested to Betsey Ross the design of the American Flag, 
the stars and stripes, which she so skilffully and artistically exe- 
cuted. 

Lawrence* Washington married Anne Pargiter and left a son 
Robert^ Washington, who married Elizabeth Light and left a son 
Lawrence'^ Washington, who married Margaret Butler and had 
a son Lawrence^ Washington. 

Lawrence^ Washington was born about 1602 and died 1652. 
He received the degree B. A. from and he was a fellow of Brase- 
nose College, but he resigned his fellowship in 1632 to take the 
valuable living in Purleigh. County Essex. England. In 1643. 
however, he was by Parliament ejected from this living for being 
as was alleged "a malignant royalist, a friend of papists, a fre- 
quenter of taverns, an ale tippler and a drunkard," all of which 
charges were strictly denied by himself and bv his friends and 
were undoubtedly untrue. He thereafter had a poorly paid living 
m another parish. He married Amphillis Roads and was the 
father of the immigrant ancestor of the Washington family of 
\^irginia. John^ Washington. 

It will be thus seen that the Washingtons of Virginia came of 
eminently respectable stock. The earliest of its forebears yet 
discovered was described as "gentlemen." The family were 
granted lands by King Henry VIH, held various offices of honor, 
married into good families, and under the Stuarts two were 
knighted and a third served as a page to Prince Charles. The 
generations in America and the connection between the Washing- 
ton and King families are given below. The first generation in 
America begins with the eighth English eeneration as follows:

officer, a burgess and a Colonel of Militia. In this latter func- 
tion he commanded the Virginia troops during the Indian War 
of 1675. His first wife and her two children having died, he 
married for his second wife Anna (Pope) Broadhurst, daughter

POSTSCRIPT. 

While this book was in the press three or four deaths occurred 
among members of the King Family, who are mentioned in the 
preceding pages. When possible these were inserted as the proof 
was read. The notices of two received too late for that are given 
below. There were also some paragraphs descriptive of persons 
which were inadvertently omitted. The following, to which my 
attention has been called by Miss Alice L. Priest, of Shenandoah, 
Iowa, who speaks from a personal acquaintance with those de- 
scribed, will supply some of these defects : 

Harriet Lucinda Caldwell Burton (page i8i), died March 
25, 1908, at Corydon, Iowa, and was buried in New York, Iowa. 
As daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and friend she was a pillar 
of strength, an arm to be leaned on, a counselor to turn to, a 
stay in time of need. As physician's wife she was almost a second 
loved physician to their community. 

Hannah Maria Caldwell Parker (page 182) Hke her 
brothers, was called by the second name. The natural sweetness, 
brightness and kindness of her spirit endured through life. A 
general favorite as a winning, pretty young woman, the later 
cares of a household did not limit her outlook and wide sympa- 
thies. 

John Wesley Caldwell (page 186) had the soul of a poet, 
one of Nature's poets, and the physical appearance of one of 
the most refined and handsome of them. He loved Nature 
quietly, deeply, all his life ; he could have walked with Words- 
worth. With those who loved him tenderly and whom he ten- 
derly loved, he rests among the Northfield hills he longed for. 

Clara King Powers (page 285) was a most loving and 
gentle lady. She had a slender frame and soft, beautiful black 
eyes, with a tender winning, almost shy light in them. A sensi- 
tive face and soul, and all the graces that mark the gentlewoman 
of culture and refinement.
